Freshly painted PRR GP or SD, Mifflinburg, PA??

When I was a kid in the 80's visiting family in Mifflinburg, PA, I remember seeing a freshly painted diesel in PRR paint here:

At the time, I thought it was pretty neat, but now I realize that what I saw must have been special.  Any ideas?

I remember that there was a feed mill (or something) where that new police station is now (to the east of 3rd street).  I think there was a siding there...

That's the same GP30 that is in the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, which was repainted by Norfolk Southern into a Conrail scheme.  Ask the Conrail queens how NS did.  I heard there was some issues with the lettering.

Yeah, amazing I remember it.  There was never any action on that line, and then one day that new-looking GP30.  It seems like yesterday to me...
