Holy cr@p Mike, I have railfanned in THAT EXACT SPOT! What wa sthat CR loco befor epaint - I don't recognize the scheme.
Funny how the CP name is offset. Seems unbalanced to me. The DB definitely looks like a GP60.
... Ballast Express. ...
Mostly looks like they just shook-up a box of old EMD parts and dumped it out. Long short hood recalls the SD40-2 snoots. Looks wacky on a GP frame."GP20C"? All these semi-contrived model names have pretty much tossed the concept of the old "Diesel Spotter's Guide". It's just not possible to tell the players these days without a roster in front of you. Maybe there's an app for that?
OK, that explains the sublettering. Some wiseguy peeled-off the 'A' and it says "Ball St Express". I thought that the paint was awfully bland for commute power.
