One time and one time only, both former Raillink F units were power for the OSR Plow in March 2015. Pictured is the train passing the iconic water tower in the south end of town. I had a vested interest in seeing this again, as I had seen this pair on GEXR plowing in '07. Photo 2 - plow extra meeting GEXR 581. Now 1400 belongs to the VHA as 6539 and 6508, the "Jim Brown" is of course in OSR colours - notice how similar the lines are of the OSR paint scheme? Raillink's paint was quite nice - why change a good thing too much?

    The raillink blue/grey/yellow paint was really smart.

    It couldnt have been long that this blue/grey/yellow scheme was around before Rail America bought Raillink Canada seeing they bought them in 1999. How long was this paint scheme a thing?

    The black/yellow scheme of course coming before this
