Bitter cold outside, and nearly bed time.

Here's a photo of my newest locomotive acquisition, from EBay. It's a GP-35 from the late 1960s and painted in the appropriate manner for a DT&I locomotive. Runs nicely too.

And here's a sample of some of those psychedelic colors DT&I introduced in the 1960s and after. Yes, they really had box cars in magenta and in sky blue I've seen photos of a few that had apparently been in service for quite a while, and were pale and dirty.

And so to bed. Still no snow here, though they are promising four to seven inches during the day tomorrow. Always fun when there's no excuse not to make it to work, and then it becomes dangerous and nearly impossible to get back home.
