I know while living in Cedar Rapids, Iowa I got real accustomed to seeing the <br />old MILW and orange & white IC scheme Geeps the Chicago Central operated into town from Manchester and that they had working the old IC and MILW yard there. I also liked the red & white CC&P livery too (looked like the last <br />M&StL scheme a little bit). <br /> <br />Then, when the IC took-back their east-west main and made the CC&P a <br />subsidiary, they went with the IC black livery (as I remember they put "CCP" <br />underneath the hood numbers in small letters). It still made sense for an Iowa <br />railroad setting. <br /> <br />But when CN stepped-in I started seeing old Grand Trunk Geeps plying the <br />former IC and MILW yards over by the power plant east of Quaker Oats. That <br />just didn't look natural to me, and seeing CN MOW vehicles and property signs <br />REALLY bugs me when I go there every summer to visit with friends. <br />
