Check out this very colorful unit! Ontario Northland in 2005.

Here is a picture of Ontario Northland GP40-2 #2202. I really like the colors of this one. It was sititng in the EJ&E Yard, in Joliet, IL. I hear it was being used for passenger service. Behind it, is a pair of BRC GP10's. What do you think of the paint scheme? [:)]

It's the most colorful paint scheme I have ever seen. [:)] It must have just gotten painted. [:)]

Those last 2 engines are RLCX 1704 and 1703.I saw them on a westbound BNSF train in Polo, IL.they were the 4th and 5th engines in the same position seen in that picture.I uploaded a picture of RLCX 1703 onto the Rosterpix website as a GP7 but I didn't know what model it was or what BRC number it used to have.

A sharp looking paint scheme. Wonder who owned the GP40-2 before Ontario Northland bought it?
