This is great. I hope I get to see this thing! Thanks for sharing

Do the cab number look like they are in the same style, used on Union Pacific locomotives?

B-E-A-Utiful!

Fantastic image! Thank you Mike for this excellent post.

This paint scheme looks great. Great shot Mike.

I have to say, that ACe wears that paint scheme well, too bad it's the old GM Demo unit re-painted, you can even tell with some of the components that it's definetely the old unit

Thanks for bringing back the "Southern Belle" scheme. Looks a whole lot better than grey & red. :)

Who really cares about the GM Demo bit?? That's a mighty fine lookin' engine. Excellent shot I must say.

I have to hand it to Mr. Haverty and the boys, that paint scheme makes an ugly design locomotive look sharp!! Especially better than battleship gray and red lettering.

That's about the only thing Big Mikey is good for, his nostalgia. Great catch, thanks for posting.

Nice catch! Interesting how they are using the same number style as Union Pacific.
