On another pass through town, the three "America" units have yet another west bound GC10KC stack train in tow. And the units have yet another revision to their paint schemes!
1776 now has a large flag decal added to its side; AP&W crews have nicknamed it the "Flag Unit".
1876 now has three stars on its flanks; this is the "Stars Unit".
1976 now has large military insignias on both its sides and its nose. This unit has been called everything from the "Military Unit" to the "Admiral"; one engineer even called it "the Battleship"!
Like many of the Gateway Cherokees, this one has lots of Schneider traffic, with both the traditional orange equipment and the newer white containers. As the train passes by, the yard crew give the train a rolling inspection to make sure there are no problems.
