  I agree with you on the Skokie engine Marty. I wonder how long it will be before the entire fleet gets repainted or most likely that as each rig gets replaced the new one would come with the new colors. I wonder if they plan to actually repaint the rest of the fleet? I assume that the new tower ladder is coming in with the black top? I personally prefer the white over red scheme which I think is more visible and I saw nothing wrong with it either.

  Rig was placed back into service before striping and lettering were completed.

  Tower 16 won’t be around for a few more months.

  Nice job overall. I don’t like the black stripe and lettering, looks too dark to easily see. Also why no Co. Number on the sides?

  Anyone hear anything about the new Tower 16? I thought it was an April delivery.
