Mt 1st impression was ....?????? ugly. It grew on me a bit. The front on view is the best. The locomotive type badge is a nice touch. I wish they might have done this on an F59 tho. That loco is a little more sleek, a bit better resemblance to an e-unit I feel. But at least the effort was made with some regard for the original appearance.?? I had been hoping that the SD70ace that are supposedly coming might have gotten heritage treatments, including the Q, BN, CNW, IC, and RTA. While not the right shape, they are big, long shapes with six axles. JMO?? :)

Chicago Metra has released a locomotive painted to resemble the CB&Q. This follows other units that were painted to honor the Rock Island and Milwaukee Road
