Northern Pacific Lives In Southern Indiana
Author: Ohiorailfan

Recently restored GP9 #465 now operates on the French Lick Railroad between French Lick and Cuzco, Indiana. The 465 is painted in a Northern Pacific inspired paint scheme. Although not accurate to the area the engine looks great and was fun chasing yesterday. Enjoy!

I’ll take the NP passenger colors wherever I can get them! Great job. I don’t think NP ever painted any GPs in passenger colors, but this surely would have been a good scheme, just slap a Monad on the side and front somewhere!

A few years ago, this operation purchased an ex-NP dome coach and an ex-NP Traveller's Rest lunch counter lounge.  Hence the NP colors on the geep.

From the front it looks like it was a former SP engine.

Please add my vote also, and if so, between the low 3800s, and about 3873.  If it was one of the few non-Grip units, it would have been in the 2800 series.
