Trains News Wire EXCLUSIVE: Fort Worth & Western unveils repainted SD40M-2
Good job
Really sharp paint scheme!
Very nice.
Looks like it’a been upgraded to radial trucks
Looks Good
Cool locomotive, but that paint scheme makes it look like a toy.
Our hometown railroad has a nice corporate image and continues to be a business success story.
At least the scheme is not orange yellow and black.
Those are not radial trucks, they are standard Flexicoil “C” trucks that were used when the locomotive was first built as an SD45.
Good info and great picture. I always enjoy your work and your efforts to keep us current on the Fort Worth and Western. Any idea when 2024 will be painted and any prospects for additional engines?
Maybe they can paint the 2024 into a ;heritage’ scheme like Santa Fe 5532 pictured here.
Why is this so significant that it needs to be a “Trains News Wire Exclusive”? So the FWRR painted another locomotive. Big deal. I think Trains must be having a slow news day.
