    I caught a Retro Belle this week too; not too many get to North Dakota. Nice shots!

    I've heard of very few through here. Usually after dark, or so it seems. :(

    Kind of like CP locomotives down here. They are very rare. The really rare ones around here though are FEC and Pan Am.

    Retro Belle? Is that the old style KCS paint? I definitely like the gray scheme better, but that's probably cause I worked on a bunch in that paint.

    "Retro Belle" is their old passenger scheme. The red/yellow/black colors they are now using, post-gray era.
