Just so long as they don't paint them "black and tan."Funny you say that. This scheme from the 1960s was dubbed "black and tan". Only lasted until the mid-70s on the locomotives; there were certain kinds of passenger car that didn't get repainted until the 1990s though. (That locomotive is pure EMD; the first-generation JL8, with eight-cylinder 567CR prime mover, built in LaGrange IL.)  This is the paint scheme that preceded it; two-tone green. (This is one of the few diesels built in Ireland, or assembled; the body was built in Inchicore Works in 1950, but the prime mover is Sulzer and the traction motors are Metropolitan Vickers.)  |
