A great heritage shot!

Great pic.These units certainly had a style all of their own

Over the years I have looked at a LOT of PRR photos, but this is the FIRST I can recall where the painters got so "detail-oriented" that they continued the multi stripes onto the number board holders. Must have been a "quiet day" at the paint shop.

It is difficult, so many years removed from that time to realize some of what we have lost. That paint scheme was applied at Electro-Motive. I doubt today's Electro-Motive would want to paint a unit is such a complicated manner.
