Nice engine, especially with the retro livery! The only quibble I have is that "AZER" makes me think of the country Azerbaijan.

Sometimes these things don't seem to make sense. I remember in the 80s seeing Alcos and such in the midst of trains on the BN.

I think you mean heading east. Anyway the paint looks like an SP paint style.

yes and if i recall it was painted like this in tribute to the SP since this short line runs on current up trackage that was once SP
