After Santa Fe merged with the Burlington Northern Railroad in 1995-1996 to form BNSF Railway, the Beep was one of only three blue and yellow units not affected by the new company's renumbering program. #1460's cab sides were affixed with a BNSF sublettering "patch" and retrofitted with a four-stack exhaust manifold. It was retired in 2008-2009, and later stored in Topeka, Kansas. In May 2009, the unit was donated to the Western America Railroad Museum in Barstow, California, where it remains on static display.
