On 3-11-12 I caught Marquette Rail switching in the Manistee yard.

Then I follwed the 2005 to Filer City.

They've had units painted similar to the old TSBY scheme since last fall:
2011 Santa Train (w/ both GLLX Cabooses):
189-car monster train:
Granted, the unit in the second video dosn't have blue yet...

The 2005 is the only unit thus far to be painted in the Chessie/Tisby-esque paint job utilizing the former UP yellow. With the pending acquisition by RA, who knows if any more will be painted.

You know, it is very close to the good ol' Chessie's scheme- might I say it's the beginning of Marquettes "Heritage" schemes?

Nice pictures Mark. Didn't the GP38-2's arrive in UP paint and MQT simply made a few adjustments to it?
