NREX C39-8 #7480, of obvious Conrail heritage, awaits its date with the scrapper. It's in good company with dozens of other locomotives at NRE's Facility in Silvis, IL. Built in 1986, #7480 survived a number of years with CSX before being retired and sent to NRE. The Metra covered wagon in the background is said to be privately owned and safe from the scrapper.
Not
just heritage schemes, not just commemorative schemes - this album is devoted to some of the world's most interesting paint schemes, past or present.
