I asked John Krattinger about this, and he said it was probably a joke.
The government hasn't approved the carve-up yet, and it is uncertain
who will what locomotives, so I wouldn't fret yet. :-)

Still, my basic premise right now is to shoot anything blue that
moves.

BTW, I realized today that if NS gets the GP38s and GP38-2s, they'll
be going back to black paint, like they were delivered from the 
factory.... :-)
