a UP Heritage unit? Or you caption it ....
Author: valmont

This Jim Shepard shot was taken at McCook, IL on Oct. 13, 1984, obviously just out of a paint booth!

Or the chalk booth. That would make a neat modeling project.

Unfortunately, with all of those doors open, it looks like it might be down, not up.

Must be the infamous "Junk's Blue" scheme. According to Strack's site, the GP35's that MP didn't deturbo were all retired by UP in February 1983 and traded to EMD in May 1984. McCook suggests 2562 is waiting its turn at the Pielet Bros. scrapyard. No wonder the eagle is screaming.
