Western Railroad Discussion > Unstoppable Photoshop on Mason St.Date: 09/19/14 22:03 Unstoppable Photoshop on Mason St. Author: highgreengraphics On 9-15 a northbound oil train empty bound for Fort Laramie, WY, whistles up Mason St. in Fort Collins, CO amid trees showing their first taste of Autumn. It is led by the same CP AC4400 that was repainted and relettered AWVR Allegheny & West Virginia Railroad and numbered 777 for the movie "Unstoppable". The giveaway plow striping was pretty ratty so I went nuts and colored in what was barely there, averaged the colors which turned out to be WP orange, then changed the tint to be the proper somewhat dirtied yellow, so now it looks to be the part. I debated on closing the hose doors and getting rid of the hoses in the pilot, but I thought leaving them open just as they were would look more authentic. How you like? It took about an hour to get the striping to look just right, but the bright side is that spray cleaner and rags were not even necessary! === === = === JLH
