    Gotta love the schemes.....Okanagan Valley Railway Colors, CKR Lettering, and OVR logo ! I was in the Okanagan back in December, and the 2506 is like that too, CTR Lettering and color, and CKR logo !

    Nice stuff Tyler ! I saw BCOL 744 behind 2530 on a WB mixed in Belleville Ontario yesterday. Took them almost 2 hours for a small lift of about 10 cars ! I also notice in your shot, it shows the 4600's slight frame sag. Alot of these in zoomed shots show the sag.....theyre not that old !
