Love the picture of the Kettle Falls GP35! I recognize the paint scheme and number as a former Idaho Northern and Pacific unit. They have such a great paint job. Interesting thing about these units is that they were originally built for the Southern Railway (with high short hood of course), with RS3's being used as trade in credit, hence the origin of the ALCO trucks. At some point in their life, I believe when INPR bought them, they had their noses chopped down. Cool to see where some of them ended up.
