I imagine that's it. I haven't heard they've gotten rid of it. The long hood is red and the cab and short hood is yellow, but it was last painted in the mid-1980's so the yellow probably has faded and is covered with cement dust. In looking around, I found this photo of it by Randy Keller on the LocoPhotos.com web site: [www.locophotos.com]

Someone asked about SWPC's GP40. This series of photos, also by Randy Keller, pretty much tell the story (click on the thumbnails to enlarge): [www.locophotos.com]
