I hope this is the correct area of the form for this :) There is a lot going on with the paint scheme on this locomotive, I recommend reading the press release for info on it.

The loco is actually honoring our entire military. The front part represents the air force (it's actually reflected off of an old WWII bomber commemorating the UP), the mid-section represents the navy (hence the battleship grey paint), and the rear represents the army and marines (hence the camo).

Pretty cool

They should have put it on a Geep (Jeep), sorry, I'll get my coat.......

Cheerz. Steve.

I think our efforts would be better focused cleaning our current fleet.
Seems all our power is covered in crud and the AMERICAN FLAG is burned, charred, or otherwise damaged!!!
You'd think a company that flaunts itself as "Building America" would take alittle bit more pride in the flag it puts on its engines.
The only reason they support hiring troops is for tax breaks anyway.

Sorry, thanks for sharing.

Take care
