@@BNSFrailfan01 I just saw an SW unit in Herington Kansas. It is black and white. Looks like it could be an X Illinois central death star, but it doesn’t have the death star on the side of it anymore. It might be going out on the WT I’m not sure.

The repainting of 4246 wasn’t that the shop ran out of money the locomotive showed up at a bad time the neodesha shop was in the process of shutting down due to a shift in watco’s focus I can’t remember the exact day that neodesha closed up in 2021 and to be honest if it showed up in the summer the whole plant was down to a skeleton crew by June in preparation of full shutdown. But anywho nice video

I was told my information by a friend of mine who works for K&O; it’s an interesting scenario nonetheless.

@@BNSFrailfan01 definitely and the only reason I know anything is I was employed at the neodesha shop at that time
