Yeah, they're not that dissimilar in appearance. The new railfans can
tell the new locomotives apart; I cannot. Surely plane spotters have no
problem telling a C-5 from a C-141. They have the same blips on the
fuselage for the landing gear. I think the wing tips are slightly
different. The top of the vertical stabilizer, where the horizontal
stabilizers meet it, might look a little different.
