Buzz, you should build a whole Illinois Central line when DTG Releases their "next-gen" sim; something that will be in desperate need of routes. *!lol!*

Hand lettered (before decals) this switcher at the Santa Fe shops at 43rd st. Chicago. Got to run it back and forth a few times.

Hand lettered this in Chicago Heights, IL. Then it was shipped to Texas.

Did a lot of this type of work in the 80's-90's. I subcontracted for a locomotive paint and repair company.
Did stuff all over Chicago. !!howdy!!
