Geez, I almost forgot about those. Can't say it was my favorite, but it was interesting. How many of those were there anyway? Couldn't have been too many, because I don't believe I ever saw one in person.

Actually there were 57 tiger stripes with 1 SD40-2, 3 SD60s, and 53 GP50s (3110-3162).

Was an interesting scheme. Keep the Minnesota shots coming.

I kinda wonder why BN didn't make the Tiger Stripe it's official scheme. Don't forget the two GP50's that were painted in a "Two"-of-a-kind scheme using white and orange instead of black and orange for the tiger stripes.
