Nice livery! I love the joint passenger and freight operations
Wow! Throwback post! While the name of the road (and a few other things) have changed, the base scheme remains largely the same. Chevrons have been added to the nose, I've since added a sill stripe, and the hood-side lettering is now in a SP style speed lettering. Oh, and passenger ops have been spun off as their own road since Jason posted those pics all those years ago.

"Headin out to San Francisco for the Labor Day weekend show..."
"Yes, it's been quite a summer. Rent-a-cars and westbound trains."
CPAC C44ACMs 5515 and 6134 (the latter an ex-COER rebuild) lead a westbound business train from Sparks to Oakland for some Bay Area Labor Day festivities. The leader wears a crew-applied tribute sticker honoring the passing of Jimmy Buffett, who passed away the Friday of Labor Day weekend last year.
We caught the train at the west end of Truckee, then once more at West Norden.
