AT&SF Bicentennial-painted EMD SD45-2 #5704 is once again running under her own power for owner Southern California Railroad Museum. In 2021, AT&SF successor BNSF Railway donated the locomotive to SCRM (formerly the Orange Empire Railway Museum), and it was later restored to its famous paint scheme, dating to the mid-1970s, when it was one of 5 such decorated units that both led the intermodal train Super-C and assisted with the movement of the American Freedom Train, according to Diesel Era Magazine.
On June 21, 2026, Instagram user @thetalesfromtherails shared video of the 5704 now operating under her own power, leading an excursion train on the Museum's grounds. In addition to being the home of a wide variety of rail equipment from carriers including the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, and Union Pacific, SCRM also has an extensive collection of streetcars, and provides regular excursions using its passenger cars, which range from "Harriman"-style "Subs" to former Canadian Pacific Montreal-area suburban coaches, to even a group of Pullman-Standard Comet I cars from Erie Lackawanna & New Jersey Transit.
