Last AN GP15 still in the classic scheme
Title:  Last AN GP15 still in the classic scheme
Description:  To my knowledge this is the last AN GP15T still in the classic AN scheme. I think there is a SW1500 still in the AN scheme and unless there are some elsewhere, those are the last 2 that haven't gotten the orange/black GWI scheme. I'm not sure where this one ended up but it is dangerously close to the CIRR paint shop. It may have ended up there.

Description:  A roster shot on what I think is the last AN GP15T still in the classic scheme. There are several more the area but they have all gotten the Orange/black GWI scheme applied now. This one is dangerously close to the CIRR paint shop. I am not sure where this one ended up and it may very well be about to get the orange/black dip.
