An old, once-familiar paint scheme is back today in the form of a Class 3 railroad based out of Sumner, Mississippi. Started in 2017, a group purchased the rights to use the original colors and logos, operating as the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad LLC (reporting marks RILX). They recently purchased an ex-CNW GP15-1 and painted it up in the bright blue and white scheme with the large Rock Island “R” on the sides. This offering is officially approved by Rock Island Rail.
