If it was still on the Grande, it'd be voted the cleanest locomotive

. If you can read the name, It's no longer a Grande!

UP and CSX have some of the dirtiest fleet's for class 1's. UP inherited SP's wash policy ("We don't need no stinkin' wash racks!") when it merged with SP in 1996.

Wheeling Lake Erie GP40 the pride of the fleet

Most of their locomotive are still in its previous owners paint.I would call it not dirty,just rusty.It kind of weird finding a Rio Grande locomotive in Cleveland..
