    The BLW announcement pertains only to the version coming from HobbyCraft/LifeLike
    Canada. These models will come in CN, CP
    and CP Rail. HobbyCraft does not usually
    offer their models in US roadnames.

    This N model has not (yet) been announced by LifeLike USA.

    Among the US roads operating this loco were: Erie Lackawanna, Belt Railway of Chicago, Reading, Conrail, Delaware & Hudson, Maine Central, Detroit & Mackinac
    and Spokane, Portland & Seattle. See this photo page for more info:

    Spokane Portland & Seattle had them in a very nice gold-tan and green paint. BN inhereted them and they worked on the Burlington Northern till 1983 I think. Also if you model WP joint line the SP&S and BN Alco's showed up on pool trains.
