Oh, park the car and trudge thru the snow up onto the CN right-of-way in a most bleary damn cold windy day and this is what I get for a reward. The Loto Quebec paint scheme on eastbound VIA #72. This warp adorned this unit 6414 from July 2006 until at least 2011.  Yet I very seldom got to photograph it. I guess it was just as well, as I considered this wrap hideous. This was the best they could do?  Seems I am not alone in my thinking, as I  have heard this was so poorly accepted the scheme isn't even available to modellers.  At least it makes for an interesting photo as it kicks up snow on the long grade down from Copetown.
