So sad to see 4617 with a paint job that does not say C&O. It is a real shame to see that in YN3 and to mee it really looks bad on the SD40. What a shame.......

Why is the repainting such a shame? Consider that it's still in service making a positive contribution to the bottom line.

I agree completely, wish I could see it just once
It is a shame because that was the last C&O painted endgine on an active roster. It would have been better to see the C&O still living in 2008. Yes, it is making its dues but, its a shame to see another Fallen Flag gone completely off of a Class I. Its CSX it was going to get painted anyway.

There are still a couple of Conrail's junk engines roaming around in CR paint.
