Many GP38 locomotives continued working through subsequent rebuild programs, making the type a familiar sight well beyond its original service era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBNSF #2047 “Smurf” Extended Cab\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis release represents \u003cstrong\u003eBNSF #2047\u003c\/strong\u003e in its distinctive \u003cstrong\u003e“Smurf”\u003c\/strong\u003e appearance and features the \u003cstrong\u003eextended cab\u003c\/strong\u003e configuration.
