Nice photo Mike - and interesting story about Watco's way to "...give back to our community!" They also have a GP35 or GP39 painted for the Pittsburg State University Gorillas in Kansas - it's painted Red and Yellow. There was a video on YouTube named "The World's Biggest Gorilla Rolls Into Town" about Watco debuting the locomotive on the campus for a Pitt State Homecoming Game Weekend. Another video shows "Painting The World's Biggest Gorilla" and the information on what it took to paint the locomotive - along with a time-lapse video of the unit being painted. So the two locomotives you mention aren't the only two that are a departure from Watco's Yellow & Black - there is a third unit out there in Kansas.
