Western Railroad Discussion > Nothing but Fresh Paint on Watcos Eastern Idaho

In the past Watco's Eastern Idaho motive power was a ragtag assembly of  different schemes from around the country.No more ,all of Eastern Idaho,s motive power has recieved new paint commerating Eastern Idaho's twenty year anniversery.The first image is Twin Falls with the Depot restaurant in the background.So named because of the proxiimity to the old UPRR Depot.Inside are plenty of train photos.The second shot is the Local leaving Twin Falls eastbound with the now disused grain elevator in the background.The third image is a side view of the new scheme with th current Twin Falls Depot to the far right.All images from 2018 Bill Webb

Nice set of shots.
 

Spark arrestors on the exhaust stacks?

Very nice set.  I was out there in 2004(GP-30's)  and I guess a couple operators back???  Does this RR  operate all the same lines???
