Great photo

I like that paint job. Looks very bright and modern. The scenery and track ballast came out well.

Nice paint scheme!

I really like the paint scheme!  The color pallet and the striping on the nose are reminiscent of CP Rail, which makes it feel genuine, realistic, and feasible, but the lettering and the lack of a (< formation make it distinct enough that it doesn't just look like a re-marked hand-me-down from the aforementioned road.  The perfect balance.  And the weathering job is so satisfying.

Also, before anyone questions the presence of a "CP-look-alike" in Illinois, both the Canadian National and CP Rail own trackage in the state of Illinois.  It's not as redundant as some might think at first glance.  After all, Chicago was, and is, the great terminus of Class 1 railroads, the glue that held/holds the American railroad network together.

BTW, nice lighting.
