Drawing of the Day- September 10, 2015 GE Transportation Concept ET44C4

I always like to see what classic paint schemes would look like on modern locomotives.  Today I did a concept drawing of a General Electric ET44C4 Tier 4 Locomotive inspired by GE Transportation's U25B demonstrators from years ago.
The development of the Tier 4 locomotive is a crowning achievement in locomotive progress.
GE Transportation Tier 4 Locomotives are being built in Erie, Pennsylvania and Fort Worth, Texas.

Erie Lackawanna Train at Marion, Ohio

An Erie Lackawanna train crosses the diamond at Marion, Ohio.  We give a wave to the Chicago bound train.

Today's train travels the tracks of the former Erie.  As the caboose passes our vantage, we give the conductor a wave.  Onward the train travels to Chicago.
