Following the 1995 Burlington Northern and Santa Fe merger, former Santa Fe GP39-2u locomotives continued operating under BNSF ownership. Many received the railroad's Heritage I paint scheme while retaining their distinctive rebuilt body configurations.
Athearn Genesis captures the unique characteristics of BNSF #2837 with carefully reproduced exterior components and road-number-specific features.
