If you mean the old blue and yellow "bookend" scheme with yellow ends, a big yellow SANTA FE on the side, a yellow sill and a narrow yellow stripe near the top of the hood, I'm afraid that those were gone perhaps 25 years ago.

There is only one unit, to my knowledge, that is still in that scheme, and that is BNSF 1460, an oddball unit known as an "SWBLW," which serves at the Argentine Shop switcher.

Most of the GP30's, to my own delight, are still in ATSF's yellowbonnet scheme, although a few have been repainted to Heritage I.
