I used to work for the IMRL in 1997 out of Kansas City,we shared the Knoche Yard with the KCS there,I believe that is was 1998 that Gateway Western/Gateway Eastern was taken over by the KCS.So yeah I am sure you did see one.They used to be painted in the black with yellow strips for the Gateway Western and blue with white strips for the Gateway Eastern. I know of at least some of there engines being painted in the KCS grey scheme... www.locophotos.com/PhotoDetails.php?PhotoID=20611Thanks I try.........

I finally saw the artwork for the new CIOR scheme. Let say I liked it enough to give him the go ahead to finish work on it. The GEVO/ACe scheme will be great too, but I haven't seen it in actual artwork yet.

Well...... Still not sure yet. I don't want to release what I saw because it wasn't "FANCY" enough. But I will see what I can do.
