It appears that BNSF GP60 170 (formerly GP60B 347 rebuilt with a "standard" cab with a narrow nose from a UP diesel) is on its way to Mid America Car in Kansas City for "cab paint." (They're only going to paint the cab? I'd be surprised if that is the case, since they also had to move the dynamic brake blister, which would have goofed up any BNSF paint currently on it as well.)
However, it is the second unit of five in the consist, and the train is the M-STLTUL1-27A - St. Louis to Tulsa manifest. So it may be going to KC by way of Tulsa. And, checking the map here at my desk, that train didn't even go through KC to get to Tulsa!
So, heads up in Oklahoma ... and get some photos!!!
Here's hoping that I am not misreading the printout I got out of the BNSF's computer...

Not that I have found yet, and the shots I have seen were taken on an overcast day so I'm not sure they would be accepted here.
I got word from one of my BNSF sources that it is now in Tulsa.

It’s called for the M-TULLIN1-28A, due to depart TULsa about 1315 (1:15 pm). Although it’s the 3rd unit, there would be daylight for part of the trip up to KC (ETA 0240 tomorrow).

Well, after looking at those last links for pictures, I would have to say 170 is going to get the full meal deal - full paint that is. I doubt BSNF would let the spray painted road number on the rear hood run around like that. And like Craig said at the start, the dynamic brake area has to get squirted also, so I'm betting on full paint.
