        GBW #321 was one of five second-hand locos acquired in 1979-1980 to cover
increasing traffic on the railroad. The cab sides are not red -- that's a
        collection of years of soot built up on the locomotive, a common sight
        in the 1980s as the railroad cut back on superfluous service of  its
        locomotive fleet.
