Great Western Orange Returns to OmniTrax Operation 10 Aug 2022
Author: cozephyr

OmniTrax has painted four of their 4-axle ex-Canadian National units.  OMLX 4011, GP40-2LW, nee-Canadian National 9522 sports a Great Western Railway decal on the long hood.  Train was northbound from Johnstown, Colorado, 10 August 2022 crossed the Big Thompson River bridge (thanks for the correction-!).

Great angle! Believe this is the Big Thompson River at Hardman Bottoms. It was a wood pile bridge until the floods of September 13, 2013 knocked it out and it had to be replaced. === === = === JLH

Their GP20 5625(?) wore the best paint scheme of the modern era of the GW!

I was there in June.  Those units certainly could use that coat of paint!  BTW, the Rocky Mountaineer bought many of the same units from the CN for their trains.
