I will concede that IAIS did a nice job with its "Rock Island" ES44AC, but I think that the ES44AC's look better in IAIS colors.

Has anybody seen the loco on the IAIS that was to be painted in the old Rock Island Lines scheme?

 There is a post next to this one that has many Heritage units on it and the IAIS is included.   It has been on there for several days.
