Nice pics. Didn't E&LS used to have another Baldwin (VO-1000, maybe?) in the GN-style scheme as well? What ever happened to that one?

Built new for the Escanaba & Lake Superior in November 1947, #101 also got rebuilt in the early 1980s and wears the GN inspired paint. It was the first ELS unit to receive the Omaha Orange and Pullman Green paint. It is a DS44-660 and it is stored out of service.

ELS #100 was a VO-1000 and it never got the GN paint.
