New State of Washington Engines Heading West on #7(10)

Railfans in MN and west: the westbound Empire Builder that left Chicago today #7(10) has two new engines painted in State of Washington DOT colors and logos behind the two regular engines. Didn't expect it, so I didn't get any photos or video. Maybe someone can and post them here.

Thanks for the heads up. WSDOT told us last weekend that they were on the way from Colorado, but that they had to come the long way around due to the UP bridge that was down in California.

I will meet them in passing. I am going to be on 8/28 leaving in a few minutes headed to Minot. So should get a glimpse of them somewhere in Montana.
