Not sure exactly which website I found this photo on but it is a nice shot of IW 7570 in what I am calling its Phase 1 paint job, which despite some signs of weathering sure looks one hell of a lot better than its previous Conrail paint job. Just how bad it looked when they found it on the dead line I hate to think but the crew from IW brought her back from the dead to live again and soon she will be painted in her EFRR inspired Phase 2 Minus paint job, then sometime in the following two months she will receive her Illinois Western lettering again, completing her Phase 2 paint job. If you look to the rear end of 7570 you will see a UP auto car which is on the CSXT/CN interchange tracks barely 100 feet away which the EFRR parallels. |
