Badges?, we don't need no stinking badges! And bean sales would have fallen off sharply. You have pointed out that the (original red and silver) War Bonnet is part of the Southwestern motif. I great observation. All the more reason for BNSF to get off of its duff and grasp a new corporate identity instead of living in the past (several different chapters) and dragging it through the dust. I think the ATSF War Bonnet is one of the most appealing schemes ever to grace the sides of a locomotive, but it belongs on the Santa Fe in the Southwest, not intermixed with day-glow orange and yellow and the myraids of other dogs breakfast circus assemblies that leads BNSF through its spiral into Technicolor oblivion. Change is inevitable, and with corporate change comes new corporate identities. RIP War Bonnet, and get a clue, BNSF.
