    After buying the Rarus Railway last year, they have decided to bring back the name Butte, Anaconda, & Pacific!:thumbs_up: Now if they could just bring back the old electrics!:rolleyes:

    I was hoping they'd make this choice. The name "RARUS" was disconnected at best. It meant nothing of true value to that area. A mistake the Class 1 alphabet boys could learn from.

    I just read this in the local paper. The BA&P comes full-circle!:)
    I wonder what the engines might be repainted into?

    I'd guess engines will be painted to their company paint scheme. Red/blue. Although the old BA&P colors would be nice.

    Kinda like a quasi-NKP or D&RGW black and yellow scheme? I think it was like that, anyways.

    No, I was referring to the old BA&P colors. The Patriot Rail colors aren't bad, either... :)

    That was just to show what Patriot Rail might do.

    To me, old BA&P diesel colors had too much yellow, to resemble anything NKP or D&RGW. There may still be a unit which is partially painted that way. I don't recall...
