Sunday morning I caught a glimpse of a chopnose GP7/9 going west through Syracuse. It was painted in a Southern Railway scheme with what looked to be a three digit number. I thought it said Cape Cod Central on it but that seems to be wrong. So I'm not sure what else to search for.

And with CSX who knows where it came from or was supposed to go, too.

Chesapeake & Indiana SD-M No. 815.

Originally a DM&IR high-hood SD9:

DM&IR chopped the nose at some point:

Repaint must be fairly recent! cant find a recent photo of that unit in current paint, except for several posted on facebook over the past few days.
