In honor of the day, I have created a few patriotic locomotives for the Champlain Division Route: a fictional Bicentennial scheme for Western Vermont GP7 #106, and the real-life Bicentennial paint scheme for Central Vermont GP9 #1776. I hope you all have a safe and fun-filled 4th!

Central Vermont GP9 #1776 |

Western Vermont GP7 #106 (Ex-NYC) in its usual paint scheme, named "City of Fraser". |

The same unit in its Bicentennial paint scheme applied in 1975, re-named "Ethan Allen" after the Revolutionary War Vermont hero. |
