The GEVO rant is SO TRUE tho 😭🙏
You are right, BNSF does have a lot of GEVOS on their roster. For instance, it currently has over 700 ES44DCs and over a whopping 1000 ES44C4s
Don’t forget those Standard ES44ACs. I’ve seen them a couple times.
@Boise Subdivision & North Carolina’s Joint Line of course, I won't forget about them. I don't know the exact number BNSF has, but they do have a lot of them, because the GEVOS were SO reliable enough to have every class I railroad to order these
You forgot the bnsf es44c4
First Amtrakguy365 made a amtrak tier list then a via rail tier list
And now a bnsf fan made a bnsf tier list
What’s next a csx tier list
A1A truck locomotives: *Exist*
BNSF: *Shut up and take my money!*
Honestly, I love GEVOs and GEs in general. I love the sounds and the looks. Me personally I dont like the looks of the SD70MAC, the lack of a pronounced radiator like a GE or the ACe's is just uncanny to my monkey brain.
Maybe little me watching Unstoppable on repeat to see and hear AWVR 777 has something to do with my love for anything GE
Well I do love the dash 8's and a fake BN GEVO
"Screw the Warbonnets, these are the best things in the world! In fact, they're _SO_ good, that I'ma put them _right_ here"!
That was my favorite part, especially how they ended up in D tier despite you talking about how good they were, lol.
Even when I was editing this I always chuckled at that part
Please! Just ANYTHING except A GEVOOOOOOO!!!!!! HHOOOOOOONNNNNNNKKKKKKK!!!!!!!
My favorite part of this video
Same@@adventuresofamtrakcascades301
The part with the HH20B was hilarious, too
9:31 Bro had to let his anger out on GEVOS
And about your Gevo rant: Remember this, back in the day people were saying the same exact thing about the SD40-2’s. “Everywhere and boring”. Now people are saying the same thing about the Gevo’s and the SD40-2’s are rare engines everyone tries to catch. One day the Gevo’s will join the same category the SD40-2’s are in and you will be happy that you documented them.
Them AC Gevos tho🔥
5:01 the hell? That looks like a gp40 sneezed it's cab smaller and painte it's windshield. Also the rage about the GEVOs made me laugh especially when the train horn came out
Well, I’ve seen some BNSF GEVOs on the Union Pacific, and there’s 1 reason why they’re my favorites. Because of their K5HLs. And I appreciate your opinion on GEVOs. Most of the GEVOs I’ve seen in my area are the ones of Union Pacific, but I’ve seen some BNSF ones show up as Foreign Power.
Now that you say it, I’ll give them credit for their horns

Can you rank the SD60M Triclops?
Very nice! BNSF's Fakebonnets and their own H1 units are very nice, and BN SD40-2 are pretty cool too. But if it's anything ATSF from the super fleet, hands down. I'm all about ATSF itself and it's super fleet. Like the tier list, I LOVE the B and C40-8Ws, along with ATSF's 600 Series Dash 9s. Love those locomotives.
As someone who is new to the world of railways and railfanning I'm kinda blown away on how much some people know here. I come from the world of aviation so i don't know much about trains and locomotives.
My favourite train is probably the EC44C4 ( totally not because theres a game called train sim world 3 that kinda got me into this rail stuff )
Also being from the UK i quite like the class 195, class 801s and my favourite class 390 pendilinos!
You forgotten the ac44c4m
I realized that after so I just wrote it in at the end
9:30 GIVE ME SOMETHING OTHER THAN A GEVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dash 7's, sd9, sdf40-2, b40-8 (standard cab), normal sd40, sd60m, and all the geeps are s tier
im a gevo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Great video! My favorites are the B40-8W and C40-8W. When the ATSF used to run them a lot, they looked great at 70 mph pulling piggyback and intermodal trains. Also, their Leslie RS3L's are to die for. Also, in my opinion, they're underrated compared to the future GE's simply because the Dash 8 pioneered the GE Wide Cab which is now the standard. Watching them on train videos (mostly "Santa Fe Mainline Memories) is what got me hooked on to them. I've also nicknamed them the "Great 8's."
my fav is u30c
i think you made my bnsf dcc sound es44ac 25th anniversery loco mad! >:(
I’m a pre 2000 GE dude:
B23-7 (ex southern) so cool
U23B’s are pretty cool too
I respect all opinions but also reserve mine.
The bit about there being too many Gevos on the BNSF lineup is way too accurate. I see them on various NS trains over here in the east and it drives me mad (except Golden Swoosh, I got to see that engine once)
I sorta agree but as AmtrakGuy365 said in his video about why the GEVO dominates North America. "Just remember, one day the GEVO will be gone and you'll be glad you documented them."
9:32 when my friend BNSF 3815 rants about my new trains i recently got and screams in my ears saying "HOW MANY TRAINS DID YOU GET?!?!?!?!":
Dam 🥲 The GEVOs are my S tier simply from their reliability, there are a lot of them but I gotta say because I see them around a lot they are a fav of mine, along with the SDF40-2s [early]. I do agree with the tier 4 variants. Srsly the tier 4 standards forced GE and EMD to make locomotives perfectly suited for no one
I can respect that you don't like the gevos because it's true that there's a majority of them on the roster for railroad's like CSX, and Norfolk Southern. They're my favorite locomotive though because I really like how powerful they are on the rails, and of course the K5HL horn that they blast at crossings.💙💛🧡
I have to agree with you here. Their horns sounds so powerful
Hot take but I really like the ET44s and the ES44s. Purely just the design is kinda satisfying.
I agree
The first time I got called for a train with an ET44 leading, I had to try not to act excited because I knew my engineer would bust my balls for it. It's apparently an unspoken rule that when you work for the railroad, you're supposed to hate it, or at least pretend like you do. The rooftop radiator fins look cool, but it looks exactly like any other GEVO on the inside.
I railfan CN and totally agree with you on the GEVO thing!
8:35 is when he goes full rage mode
You forgot the BEEP, it was briefly owned by BNSF before being donated to the Western American Railroad Museum in Barstow.
BNSF making the 25th anniversary unit: ahh what a great "HerItAgE UnIt"
For real we were expecting Warbonnets
Okay, I might be a sucker for the Gevos but the ones I prefer on the BNSF roster is the Thundercab SD70ACe, the sound was so iconic
Love the video, I agree with you on the GEVOS, I swear I am seeing them too much cause everyday I can see or hear at least 5 passing by my house for the whole week besides a duo of ACe's from BNSF
You think BNSF has lots of gevos? Let me introduce you to my good friend:
*Union Pacific*
and your right, nothing beats dash 8s. 4 axle ones look like amtrak passenger locomotives, and not really frieght haulers.
How many Gevos does UP Have?
@locomotivesteam9334 oh god, like 2500. They have many.
Seeing your reaction to the Gevo made me laugh!!🤣
But seriously, we need to see something besides a Gevo because there are way too many.
I saw a CSX train at Old Orchard Beach, and do you want to know what type of locomotive it had?
A FREAKING GEVO!!!
Don't want gevos? Come to Washington, you'll see the same amount of locals as gevos
No joke, your opinions are the same as mines lol.
SD40-2 and SD45 go straight to the top for me regardless of paint scheme. They were so plentiful back in the 70s and 80s and led every long haul heavy freight. So many still survive because of their quality and durability. Timeless looking and before the wide cabs made everything look the same.
4:55 That looks to be a former GP7u rebuild into 1/3 BNSF's "RP14BD" (I can agree on how ugly it seems lmao).
5:06 WhY tHe HeLl WoUlD tHeY pAiNt ThAt iNtO tHe BlUeBoNnEt??!?!?! That's an MK1200G Rebuilt from ATSF/LAJ 2571.
All three switchers mentioned were very unsuccessful and Geeps were more reliable.
9:44 The ones that are painted into H2 are also AC4400EVs #5718-5747 which are pre-produced GEVOs.
Finally, someone that I can agree with about GEVOs
I love a good SD70ACe
i made a report on the SD45 and SD40R and got an A. should i be proud?
If you got an A, absolutely!
I hate the ACe nose, I've always hated it, always will hate it. As far as Geeps, there should be a special entry for remaining GP30s out there. Aside from some slugs on CSX, there isn't any Class I where you will see that very distinct cab design. Yes, I know they've since been rebuilt and given a new model designation, but that cab design is still in service, and I get a little excited every time I see one parked at Western Ave. or leading the Batavia Local.
The only way I can identify the B40-8W and the C40-8W is from the road numbers.😅
You’re Back!!!!!!! I’ve missed your videos!
Can you do Northfolksouthern and union pacific
I’m not a big fan of most standard cab units to be honest, unless they’re in something other than orange. I would’ve put the BN green SD60M and the SD70MAC in S tier personally. I agree with you on the GEVO’s but the Tier IV variant would be bumped up slightly. The C4 part of the GEVO’s in general is terrible however. And I agree on the Warbonnets.
I actually saw 7 BNSF locomotives all being gevos with one of them 1063 the third BNSF engine i saw, was the only H1 locomotive I've ever saw
For the other Geeps like GP38-2 and GP40-2, look at the fans in the rear. If its 2 then its a GP38-2, If theres 3 then its a GP40-2.
Do sw1000
L take, gevos are fire
There were a couple units not in this tier list such as the C30-7, SD70ACe-P4, and GP9.
I once saw a 5 locomotive train on the Wayzata sub, I don’t have a recording of it unfortunately, as I wasn’t expecting a train, just checking out the area. NONE OF THEM WERE GEVOs! (Gasp!) The leading locomotive was an SD70ACe in the H3 scheme, while the rest were all SD40s, the middle three were in the H1 scheme, while the last was in the BN Cascade Green.
Honestly gonna have to agree with u here
I am a BNSF fan although I live in Tasmania , Australia .. My all time favourite has to be the SD40-2..we have some here in Australia too . I LOVE the SD 70 ACe.. much prefer them to the Gevo's .. Also have a soft spot for the GP40's from way back ...Many you mention I don't know a lot about ..Many of our own locomotives are built by EMD too . The best sounding of the older diesel electrics are the EMD 645s...pure sound if ever there was .. Great vid , thanks..
Gevos are awesome tho!!
Honestly I agree with him with gevos. Literally most have k5hls.
I agree with The GEVO part...
SAVE THE WARBONNET!!!!!
Im also a Sucker for Warbonnets to but also Wide cabs EXPECT the GEVOS
(CSX: Yk i have most Dash-8/Historical Trains redone? Not much Gevos?)
(NS and BNSF: Shut up... GEVOS better...)
i prefer the older series for the GEVOs, like the 7700 series or 5718 on up…
anything without H2 paint or with 3rd gen K5HL is a hard pass
Us Railfanners in Colorado, We see way to many SD70ACe's
There is a LOT of GP60M in cali. There is a local that runs through my town and every time I see it there is a GP60M.
the only odd gevos are when they have a different horn (example: K4HL, K5HLA, K5LLA, K3LA i got gevos with those horns) than the k5hl
Thomas Anthony Davis Amy Jones Shirley
gp30s are easy to identifie except for the rebuilds that get rid of the body would like a ranking as the is my favorite locomotive
What about the BEEP? If you don’t know what it is, Southern Plains Railfan made a video on the BEEP
The gevos are the best hands down, they are what this country relies on to haul our freight..
8:48 how to blow up your eardrums:
bruhhhh not the widecabs being the best. me personally, standard cab supremacy. SD40 type cab, GP15 type cab, U18/U23 type cab, etc (some widecabs are hot tho)
Compare Union Pacific locomotives next!
BNSF has an entire fleet of SD70MAC's in Green and Cream livery whose primary revenue service is hauling coal from the Powder River coal mine in Wyoming.
Fun fact: SD70ACes with a nose headlight are off centered by a few inches
Santa Fe is Highest rank in BNSF Railway getting Nostalgia Train
The only thing I think make dash8’s better with 4 axel is the fact that they are more rare. Other than 100% agree with the warbonnet tier
ES44s are the most overused and overrated locomotive ever, the SD(60-90)Macs are prettier and yet not many companies use them and even if they do, they just do switches or last a shorter life span
I’ve been inside an sd9 and the bathroom is not high enough I’m 6 feet 1 inch
I really dont like the dash 8
Why not?
Can u do the Union Pacific including the 4014 pls I love your channel
I have an HO scale GP60 that is Norfolk Southern.
BNSF 1211 is blind cuz it does not have windows.
I can agree with you but WHAT THE FUCK ARE THOSE CURSED UNITS
As a GEVO Enjoyer
That rant was hilarious 😂
And true most of the paint schemes are the same
Not much of a fan of the ET44’s tho the radiator looks way too big and the logo is way too small for my liking
But I also love the dash 9’s & AC44’s mainly because of those beautiful H1 & H2 schemes
9:32 I can't stop laughing 😂
You should have added the SW-1500 to the list
Do you ever plan on doing the ones you didn’t do? (Leftovers such as the SD45 [Non-Turbocharged], C30-7, SF30C, SD40 [ex CN], MP15, etc.) Otherwise, this tier list is fax. (Except the B23, and NRE 3GS21Bs)
Maybe in the future I’ll revisit this to see if my opinions have changed, and if I do I’ll add these one
@@CameraManRailFan i grew up in a town right next to a BNSF mainline, literally a few hundred feet from my house, i would hear it almost every day, every week, the school bus path went over the tracks many times at the beginning and end of the day. the town was literally divided by rail, a great place to be a train fan, you could eat at a sonic nearby and drive only a few minutes in two directions, and still be next to the BNSF line. But i do have to disagree with you on the entire list, they are all great, and you left out early units, and 4449
5:55 I really like the Horizontal headlight. It looks much better then the Vertical Headlights ( On standard cabs only ).
Agreed!
Shut up, put Gebo’s in scrap
It’s august now where’s engines of BNSF?
Why do this train look like this 5:02
9:33
2:27 green bnsf Train jumpscare
THE bnsf gevo was the first bnsf loco i EVER saw
Spokane has a local with exclusively GP60Ms and Bs.. one has a P3 too, so if you ever are in the area ask about the “Chewelah turn” because it is one hell of a train to see
I love the north turn! I don't get out there enough to see it lol
You missed the BNSF GP7u
5:01 That's the same thing it's just a B-Unit
4:59 the slenderman of trains..
Sd70mac is the best
You forgot the one gp9
I like the h1 dash9s tho
Yeah horizontal nose-mounted headlights SUCK!
I'm gonna be completely honest I don't hate the 3gs21 series but that's just my opinion, although most other gensets are very ugly.
5:00 okay, WHAT is that!?
I love the Dash 8-40CW
Spoken like a true foamer
Ther are a lot of gevo’s on up to
