GN GP9 #688 - CONVENTIONAL
Product code: G82276Description
GREAT NORTHERN
GN FEATURES:
Winterization hatch with horn mounted on top
Long hood-forward operation
”Nail” style antenna
GN style fuel tank skirts
In 1967, Great Northern introduced a new paint scheme, consisting of blue, white, and dark grey-green. Known as the Big Sky Blue scheme, it took its name from an unofficial nickname for the state of Montana. Several of GN’s GP9 locos received the treatment as depicted here.
In 1970, GN was merged with the other Hill roads to form Burlington northern; however, the Big Sky Blue painted units survived for some time after with a simple BN patch.
