As with many railroads leading up to the United States' 200th birthday, the Grand Trunk Western painted one of its locomotives in patriotic garb. The graphic artist who designed this scheme gets an A+ in my book, definitely nailed the dismount. GTW GP38AC #1776 looks especially nice in the morning sun.

 

James Claflin took this photo in Chicago, Il on February 2, 1976.
