For you MOPAC fans.  HLCX 6305.   I was informed this was MP 3000 the first MP SD40.

I haven't managed to put anything up in awhile, but here is an old GP I got the other day. It lives not far from my house.

My first Atlas N scale model was actually a Geep decorated in that paint scheme; I think it's a pretty classy scheme myself. It's nice to see the Bay Colony takes good care of their locomotives 

EDIT: Although apparently the 1701 is "abandoned," according to this wikipedia article

I saw the Penn Central heritage unit on Horseshoe Curve on 7/23/15.  Out of all the heritage units, I think this one looks natural out on the road.  Most of the onlookers did not even notice it was different.  Thanks.

I posted this partially in regards to the thread on the MTL head car.   I put more stock in the folks at the Canadian Railway Museum being closer to the mark colour-wise than something designed by a commitee that 'done goofed up'.

I don't know if that Wiki article is true. I have heard they still switch cement cars from an interchange with CSX.
