Introduction, Credits, and Features:
************************************

This BNSF GP35 repaint would never have been possible without the talented modelers from Streamlines.  
To find this GP35 and other amazing locomotive packs and routes please visit the Streamlines website linked below:

http://www.streamlines.ca/home.html

In addition to the minor texture and detail changes, this BNSF GP35 also includes a freight animation to address some minor mapping issues.

In order for this BNSF GP35 to work, you will need to have purchased the Streamlines ATSF Seligman Route.  
If you do not have this route, I’d highly recommend it.  
Here is a link:

This GP35 includes .eng files that are aliased to the original Streamlines Cab and Sound files.  
Hopefully the CABVIEW and SOUND folders are still in their original location which should be:

Program Files/Microsoft Games/Train Simulator/TRAINS/TRAINSET/SLI.SELIGMAN

Closing:
********

I hope you enjoy this BNSF GP35.  
I wanted to make a “clean” BNSF patched switcher and number 2648 seems to fit the bill nicely.  
The most recent photos I’ve seen of 2648 show her with an orange air conditioning unit and that’s how I painted this version.
