Though none of the Tower 55 SD70ACe's have hit the rails to date, they did add the neat looking and very Alaska Road-ish Florida East Coast SD70ACes to coming soon list.
Also added is that really awesome looking new Kansas City Southern de Mexico GEVO Southern Belle; plus a Ferromex GEVO.
How 'bout a "Classic Concept Series" BN ES44AC???

The BN one looks kinda, ah... lame.
When BNSF came out with the GN/War bonnet scheme, it was absolutely sharp.
This unit would have been better painted in CB&Q's chinese red and white, or even Northern Pacific's green with the "still honoring" Chinese ying-yang symbol, even SP&S.
Could you imagine what it would look like painted in the CB&Q Silver Streak scheme?
Like the Conrail, why pick a merger color? A Pennsy/New York Central, not quite Penn-Central, (sorry), but imagine from CSX's B&O, C&O, Western Maryland... Seaboard Air Line, Atlantic Coast Line, Louisville & Nashville... on and on...
Anyway, that's my $.02.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

I agree on "why pick the merger BN"...neat...but a Chinese Red CB&Q would have really been something to see! Or NYC Lighting Stripes!
