Hello Michael Yes this is the old CNW unit The Diesel crew is creating another master piece! Roger

Yes. It was previously Chicago Northwestern 4160. 4160 was originally built for the Rock Island as their 4506 (I probably gave the wrong number, but still).

Would be neat to see a group photo of all the folks who worked on the repaint of RI GP7 4506, if not here then in Rail & Wire. Jamie and crew just nailed that "Rock" paint scheme. Fantastic and jaw-dropping paint work and attention to detail, as always.
