That was a really neat video, thank you for sharing! Every so often when I am home one rumbles in front of my residence, to say the least the war bonnet scheme will always be a classic!

Yes...seen that picture on North East Rails this a.m. Once completed I think they will be very sharp looking units.

If you check out the RBMN web page...there is a picture of 425 and sitting behind it appears to be another 30 repaint.Comparing both pictures one unit has number boards on the long hood the other does not.

That’s a nice shot and I like their choice of colors! Wouldn’t mind getting some pics of these units myself. How “railfan” friendly is the R&N? It looks like these units are parked next to a (public?)road.

I thought at first it was James Thorpe, but I checked on RR Picture Archives (shouldn't it be RR Pictures Archive?), and it's Port Clinton. Not sure if there are public roads around there, but there is a great candy store nearby on Rt. 61!
