And in the works is former CN C40-8 2127 is being prepped for new paint. Also operations will soon begin on the former Gulf & Ship Island Railroad in Gulfport.

I would consider the caboose they painted to be more on the lines of a “Waycar” as it doesn’t have a cupola or the bay windows of a caboose.

The condition of the rail and the amazing paint jobs on these engines dont match

Well the issue that they have is that the state owns the rail line so if they want to do any serious maintenance, they have to go through the state first (they like to take it’s time).

59:00 Rock Island in the blue paint scheme on rough rails is fitting for what the RI was going through financially in the 70’s.

So Frank, about Nick Hart/Nictrain35. Was he locked out of his channel after having trespassed on railroad property and the court caught on to it? Is this permanent or until further notice?

LMFAO! Glorified Heritage units. Named after a city they don't serve, in a state the original rock island never served running on rails the original never ran on serving industries the original never served. So the guy buys the rights to CRI&P... i get it... but for Jesus Christ's sake he could at least create his own identity and leave history where it belongs... he could have created a new modern scheme for the 21 century that encompasses the past but shows the way of the future, instead he's stuck in the past. The old saying goes "he who embraces the past embraces skeletons"

the goal from what I gather is that they are starting off right when the company went I under in 1980. So that is why you see the old paint schemes. It is also In order to keep the copyrights to the paint schemes (they were going to paint the c42-9 in blue and white but to keep a copyright on the red and yellow paint scheme they were required to paint a locomotive in said paint scheme).
