BNSF diesel paint scheme changing?

[Albert in N]

Saw a lash up of BNSF diesels on a long freight today south of Fort Worth.  A new locomotive had the BNSF swoosh scheme with more than normal black green paint on top and lower portion of the locomotive, and less orange.  It had black trucks and stood out as much darker than the other BNSF swoosh, and earlier BNSF paint jobs.  It looked almost like a Great Northern locomotive in the middle of BNSF power.  Was in traffic and not able to take a photo.  Any BNSF fans know of a paint scheme change?  It looked like more dark green (almost black) paint than even the latest N models.

Add that this probably was a SD70ACe rather than a GEVO.  I will watch for more and try to get a photo next time.

I haven't heard of us using any new paint job.  My guess,  not knowing how well you may know your locomotives,  is that you may have seen a newly painted Intermediate (<4000hp) unit.   Maybe an oddball PR30C or a rebuilt SD60.  They don't receive the large yellow bands, making the black area appear much larger,  and the trucks are generally painted black too.   I can't explain Seeing it as more green-black though.

That is probably what I saw since the large yellow bands were missing.  Will keep an eye out and maybe get a closer view to confirm.  The train was moving in the distance, and I was driving, so I could not get a good look at it.  Thanks for your help.

FYI, the Swoosh scheme dark color is indeed BLACK, not dark green.

There are several "Intermediate" locos in the area right now, including a set consisting of an SD45-2 and a snoot SD40-2 (both former Santa Fe) that look straight out of the paint shop as of about two months back.  The black trucks on those units does indeed give a much different look.

Did you catch the road number?  That might help a little as well to figure out which version you saw.

These guys were in north Fort Worth but may have wandered off since this photo was taken.

Too far away to catch road number.  It did seem to be an Electromotive, so it probably was a repainted SD60.  Thanks for confirming the black BNSF paint.  Sometimes it fades and can look like the BN executive greenish black.  Since I live not far from the BNSF Fort Worth to Houston main line, odds are that I will get a closer look and possibly a photo, or at least the road number.  Then I'll post it.
