We regularly see several of 4652's ex-B&M sisters down here in southern Georgia on the Georgia-Florida Railnet. They're equally ugly, in Guilford paint with B&M blue showing through and HATX marks.

This unit is called the teenage hotrod.

From what I have seen in general, including the ex-Milwaukee Road locos out here in the Midwest still running around in their original paint, someone high up in the CP MOE department firmly believes in the mantra that "Paint Doesn't Pull Trains."

And yet they get a whack of new GEVOs painted up in a celebratory scheme for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, which proves there's someone else in a Calgary ivory tower who believes that while paint may not pull trains, it just might pull customers! Apparently doesn't apply when it comes to the yard dogs though.

I agree at least there are no locomotives still painted in the MNS colors, Unless you call Progressive rails units MNS.
