Let's look at it from another angle. What other locomotives do you like? I am not familiar with the prototype, but it sounds like it was a smaller road. As such, perhaps they would have purchased used GP40s or something similar from a class one when they were upgrading. I saw a virtual fleet of Conrail GP40s show up on the Kyle Railroad in western Kansas in the early and mid 80s. Slowly, but surely the Conrail Blue was covered up with the Kyle's blue and whilte. The ex-BN Alco Century units they ran in the early 80s never did loose their Cascade Green paint, however. The "BN" hearlds were covered up, but the BN paint stayed. If you like a given type or types of locos and they were being replaced on the UP or the BN, etc. your road may have purchased some of them. <br /> <br />Cheers, <br /> <br />Ed
