The real SF GP-50 8759, anyone have a picture?

[berraf]

I recently bought a Bachmann GP-50 with roadnumber 8759 from Santa Fe and I've searched the Internet after a picture of the real thing but without any success.
Is there anyone on this forum that have a picture of this locomotive I could "borrow" to my website?

Here's a picture of my n-scale loco:

I've just checked Fallen Flags site.
The only Sante Fe GP-50's I saw in the 8700 series were probably re-numbers from the BN/SF merger.
Here's a link to the BNSF GP-50.

Here's one, probably before the merger. GP-50 in 3800 series.

What do you call a GP-50 with the high hood?
Am I right in my opinion that high hood GP-50's was quite rare?

Highnose engines don't have separate model designations. Only Southern (later NS) had highnose GP50s. These are currently being rebuilt to GP38-3s with chopnoses.

Santa Fe GP50s were also blue/yellow, not silver/red.

Do you mean that this loco didn't ever exist in true life?
anyway, it's good to have an answer to the question and I'm grateful to you for yours

That's the short of it. Lower-end models (and the Bachmann standard GP50 is one) tend to come in schemes they never appeared in.

Well, now that I've seen a pic....Everyone's right. The Santa Fe's GP-50's were painted in their blue/gold "Warbonnet" scheme(though they painted their GP-60's in the scheme pictured above)
Here's a pic of what that paint job should really look like.
