Found a roster that says it's ex-GN 77.
Built as GN 5103; re# GN 77, 1943. To Walla Walla Valley No. 77, 1971. Retired 1974, sold to PNC in 1978.
Sold to Frisco No. 10, 1978; re# BN 70 in 1980. Retired by BNSF in 2001, sold to US Borax, No. 7171 (no date).
Hard to imagine why Frisco would buy an SW1 in 1978! Shop switcher?

Original paint on this locomotive was most likely black.

I do like the fact that BN unloaded this unit only to get it back 7 years later and keep it on the roster for another 22 years.

In your photo, it has the simplified GN scheme with no yellow separation stripes.
