I have only seen one other shot of a burgundy B&O engine, thought it was a myth-Nice catch

Great catch, I have heard of them but never believed it, now I know. When did you catch that?

7409 looks like its been blasted but-good with iron dust. Filthy is right!

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.

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.

SD35s always manage to look like beasts. This one takes it to a new level.
