    Nice! Is that UP car actually painted? Or perhaps vinyl graphics?

    488's pony truck appears to be stuck much further out in front than normal. Is that because narrow gauge lines have sharper curves and this helps the drivers track better and not derail?

    Kinda looks like vinyl graphics to me, but I'm not sure. Man, that D&RGW Mike shot is a knockout.

    Nice work. Yeah, I like the 488 too. What makes that NS unit a GP-59?

    The little white letters painted on the side of the cab below the window on the right. ;) That is the only way I would know. I would have guessed GP-60 because of the shape of the dynamic brake blister.
