Here is Great Northern O-1 class Mikado #3059 in Williston, North Dakota as she appeared in October of 1996:

And here is the 2-8-2 in 2007:

Although many of GN's steamers had green boilers, I'm not sure if this is the right shade of green. Whatever, it does look good. It appears though, that the tender was not repainted when the locomotive was given its new paint job.

It looks pretty good. A long way to go but you can see what a difference some care and attention makes.
