Scott Flynn General I have only seen one other shot of a burgundy B&O engine, thought it was a myth-Nice catch 8/29/2005 6:59:09 PM
George Neat General Great catch, I have heard of them but never believed it, now I know. When did you catch that? 9/5/2005 11:35:08 PM
Chad Malinovsky General Maybe it's just really filthy! 4/17/2006 6:28:09 PM
Brent Jackson General 7409 looks like its been blasted but-good with iron dust. Filthy is right! 4/22/2006 10:51:13 PM
Ron Moraca General Marvelous look-down photo at a B&O SD35 in...burgundy, John!!! I've never seen one before, either in person or in a photo. It must have been a real anomaly. 5/14/2009 9:49:18 PM
Curt Beal General Upon reading the description, about it being leased to Republic Steel, what you are seeing is the steel mill residue on the locomotive. Underneath it is the usual B&O color. 12/5/2010 7:02:34 PM
Ben Scanlon General SD35s always manage to look like beasts. This one takes it to a new level. 2/9/2023 11:43:30 AM
