Looks like those locomotives just came out of either a purple box, a blue box, or an orange and blue box.!

They are shiny and clean for sure!

I took this in Pelzer, SC a few years ago on a Saturday, later I found out that it had come out of the paint shop the previous Tuesday or Wednesday:

So clean, undirtied equipment does exist, at least for a short time!.

Good thing video was not taken in direct sunlight! The glare would be intense.

Great video Bob.

This 1776 locomotive looks good but not as shiny as your video.

Thanks Walter !

I grew up in New Orleans and worked for National Airlines who had a regional reservation center on the 23 rd floor of the International Trade Mart building pictured here. My dad was a travel agent and owned Travel Consultants Inc on the 3rd floor. Was great having his office nearby but with my shift work and being in a union, my lunch break was only 30 minutes and hours were off from his so we rarely were able to catch lunch together just 20 floors apart!  Lol.

Am not aware of this new RR operation there but will have to look into it. Thanks for posting!
