Wow! No kidding. The owner kind of helped set the tone by spray-painting on the loco number with no stencil or anything.
Hard to believe the bell was still there given that level of care this poor girl has seen... :tb-sad: :tb-sad: :tb-sad: :tb-sad:
I always cringe when locos get tagged. I'm always thinking in the back of my mind that some idiot tagger sometime is going to get at some legacy equipment in a museum or yard somewhere.
That is one sad sight...but better than anything we have locally...oh yeah, we don't have anything locally
I had this loco in my consist not too long ago from Louisville to Cincinnati. I really wanted to snap a photo of it but never got around to it. Nice shot!:thumbs_up:
THAT is a prime candidate of the "When Bad Paint Happens to Good Diesels" thread. Talk about a rent-a-wreck................:tb-shocked::tb-shocked::tb-shocked::tb-shocked:
