I have no idea who owns GM 1 currently.  But it sure looks great in the silver and
maroon and the loco is very obvious in a three or four loco consist in that livery.
Who ever owns it, it is now in revenue service on the ASR grain trains that go past
here regularly, and probably others.  I hear them all, but I only see a few, I'm not
such a gunzel that I run outside, and up the bank to the line every time I hear a
passing train to have a peek :-)
