This photo is owned by NASA and is Public Domain.

And this pic I took yesterday:

        IMG_0265

MTH got the horns almost correct. On the prototype they are centered whereas on the model they are offset to the right but I'm good with it. Also, the trucks are white on the prototype, not gray.

 Lew, that is a very handsome locomotive'.. Didn't know NASA had locos. Where did you take that photo?  We need more information and history'...

Ted, the prototype photo was taken at the Kennedy Space Center by a NASA photographer. According to Wiki they have 38mi of track. I have permission to post this map because it is marked as Public Domain (by Wiki):

                NASA_KSC_Railroad_map

Their reporting mark is NLAX. 

Now how cool would it be to build this as a model RR. Saturn V rockets and all........
