Nice ! Very early repaint of  ex-RDG GP7 629. There were a number of units that got the "Blue Dip" without getting the "Can Opener" logo.

The one clue it's ex RDG is the rain drip guard on the cab roof. Great photo of a great location.

Nice catch ! Several of those ex RDG geeps got this no logo treatment, not sure why. Coupled with a Penn Central geep that had a small "PC" logo and no lettering, so nice duo all around.
