Apparently not, but 5040-2 652, photographed in June 1988 at Neosho, Mo., was recently decorated with thi s attractive gray red-and-yellow livery. Reports are that this scheme is strictly experimental and will not be applied to any other units. An out-of-place SW1200 found itself stranded in Colo, Iowa, this past June, apparently set out while being ferried to its new home in Indiana by C&NW The unit was rebuilt by Wilson Railway Co.
