BN had three, and unlike Milwaukee Road's #156, BN's bicentennial diesels actually pulled the American Freedom train for a while while #4449 was undergoing repair after hitting a truck at a crossing. SD40-2 #1876 also had the honor of helping #4449 with the 26-car train through the Cascade mountains.
