The WSOR remains an interesting place under Watco ownership. The classy red and gray is still king, albeit with new reporting marks and numbers. Then you have the oddities like 4219 and the HLCX units to add variety. |

Old and new WSOR schemes bracket a yellow bonnet |
Description: |
In the "classic" (Gardner era) WSOR scheme, there are narrow red and gray chevron stripes on the short hood, and the thick gray stripe dips into a single fat chevron on the long hood. In the new version of the scheme applied by Watco starting in 2016, the thick gray chevron is moved to the short hood and the gray stripe wraps straight around the end of the long hood. |

WAMX 4223 looks sharp in the autumn evening light as the T3 power rolls out of the fuel ramp |
Description: |
Ever wonder what a WSOR SD45 would look like? Wonder no more! Although, 4223 has been remotored with a 16-cylinder, 3K HP 645 to become the functional equivalent of an SD40-2. The unit spent about a year in service on the WSOR in its ex-CIT modified UP scheme (red/white nose chevrons). I'm fond of that scheme and would have liked to catch it then, but I gotta say this looks better! |
