Nice getting the new A&S paint job. I saw it one of it's first days out on the camera at Gratiot and was like, "wait...what did I just see?". I really like it.

[@CRSD60I]

Yeah it's pretty awesome! Glad there's at least one more SD60 on the way and possibly more to come after that!

[@Mikey300]

Aluminum paint on the trucks--just like when the A&S was owned by Alcoa and ran bauxite from the Mississippi River docks to the alumina refinery at what is now Alorton IL.

It's a SD62'''...OH! ...SD60...Nice Paint!

[@trainchasersatwork]

I saw this locomotive and it’s sister sitting in a yard in St. Louis and I thought pulling up to it “No way was that CNW!?”

[@tomtodd7744]

The A&S paint job looks a lot like the Chicago Northwestern.

[@CRSD60I]

It is partially CNW and partially MOPAC as well hence the buzzsaw. Both MOPAC and CNW owned the A&S at one point hence the hybrid logo.
