I loved these units. Literally took my first train pictures of them. The tiger stripes make them look even more formidable.

Great photo.  The Golden Gate Railroad Museum in Northern California has the #1487 H12-44 wonderfully restored in this paint scheme, and she runs!  B

Ironically enough, last night I found pictures of the GGRM 1487 being taped an painted.  I never knew we took pictures of that, but was glad to find them.
