Frankenstein paint job - just in time for Halloween

I saw an amazing paint job over the weekend. It was a BNSF 4000 series (probably 40xx, maybe 41xx - I didn't get the exact number). I saw it early morning at Hector, California, eastbound, and wasn't ready with a camera. I also wasn't going to chase an eastbound, so I have no picture.

The paint job was like this: The cab and tail were standard BNSF green and orange. That is, the front 1/4 and the rear 1/4 were H1. The middle of the unit, though, was the BNSF fakebonnet (that is, the old Santa Fe Super Fleet colors, but lettered BNSF). There was no blending. It's like somebody replaced the body over the prime mover with a body from a completely differently painted unit.
