Daylight-ish? Saint Louis' Manufacturers Railway Company (owned by the Anheuser-Busch brewing company) was always a colorful railroad, but on October 2, 2011, Foster Townsend Rail Logistics (FTRX) began providing rail switching services at Anheuser-Busch's St. Louis brewery. And FTRX's locomotives feature an attractive red and orange scheme, so things are staying colorful in St. Louis! FTRX SW1200 1206 was built in November 1955 as Illinois Terminal Company 780 (later ITC 1206, NW 1206 and RRC 1206) and SW1500 1515 is the former Alton & Southern 1515 (which rolled out of EMD's factory in April 1971).
