There is as I type this (at 3:15 PM, Sunday, March 5) a truly phenomenal mix of power at the Stanley service track. Fasten your seat belt for this one:
1504 (stealth)/HLCX 9027(MPI blue/gold)/TORC 999; 9034/8629; 2697/ATSF 691 (almost pure warbonnet, has only sublettering on cab for BNSF)/BNSF 4788; 9121 and 9122 (both Chessie System); CN 2591/CN 5751; 9136 (new blue)/9119 (Great Pumpkin); 8317 (new blue)/8854; 8814 (CR blue); CEFX 3116 (blue)/FURX 7267 (standard BN green/black/white)/296; 8869/UP 9115/9156. Units with no road name are CSX, CSX units with no description of paint schemes are some version of previously standard blue/grey/yellow. Counting all the blue/grey/yellows as one, I come up with 13 paint schemes!
Another odditiy: MP15 1170 was working Walbridge. Also on hand at Walbridge was 6025 with two cars, the Ohio and a track geometry car.
