Did this locomotive formerly work for Indiana HyRail and then the West Chester Railroad? If so I have pictures of it sitting in West Falls Yard in Philadelphia about 2003 or so.

Actually, this scheme was known in L&N circles as Confederate Grey and Yellow, first adopted by the L&N in the early 1960s to replace the all blue or all black austerity scheme of the mid 1950s. The GP-30s were the first new locomotives to wear these colors.

This locomotive is painted in a late, say early to mid 1970s version of the scheme, with the non-slanted "L&N" on the front, and lack of black outlining.
