The California Northern Railroad has operated over portions of the former NWP and SP, including the former SP West Valley Line, since 1993. Painted in an attractive green and white scheme, the line’s varied locomotive types included a group of former CNW GP15-1s. The line was acquired by RailAmerica in 2002 and then became a part of Genesee and Wyoming in 2012. Three of the original GP15-1 locomotives were repainted in the current G&W orange and black scheme.
