Switchers too
Title:  Switchers too
Description:  Even switchers got the new scheme. I am not aware of any other end cab units on the roster, but this one, an ex SP unit judging by the lights, looks good in the G&W family colors, seen at Brooks Av.

Something old, something new
Title:  Something old, something new
Description:  This short train was at Brooks Av in Rochester over New Years weekend. We have a leased B&O GP 9 in Chessie paint leading, something old. Trailing is a GP 40 in the new R&S paint scheme, based on parent Genesee & Wyomings colors. It is a scheme that will become familiar nationwide as G&W builds its short line empire.
