    Found a very brief clip on their Facebook page. Do you have a link, or was this what you were referencing?

    Have they done anything to change the external appearance? Or is it still in WP&Y scheme?

    Howdy Box,

    Here are 2 YT videos of the White Pass #107. Enjoy, there are other videos on YT :





    As far as what color, as you can see this one is still yucky. However there is a video that shows 2 more that looks to be repainted in a very SP Daylight look alike? ? ?

    Be well ! !

    Nice to hear the sounds of that ALCo.

    I am wondering if they use a different rule book than what many common carriers employ? The use of horn signals seemed to be rather sloppy.
