N&W Blue on new diesels

[NW Mailing List]

Minor correction - the second order of SD40s (starting with 1610 IIRC) was delivered in N&W "NW" black.

Wabash Blue like N&W Blue can seem to vary with age, cleanliness, lighting, and such (from looking at pictures).  Overall, Wabash Blue appears to be a lighter shade than N&W Blue.  This appears especially to be the case in pictures of “new” U-25Bs and GP-35s.  As for N&W units delivered “new” in N&W Blue:  ·         All 1300 series GP-40s were delivered in Blue (this would be all N&W GP-40s)·         All 1500 and 1600 series SD-40s were delivered in Blue (this would be all N&W SD-40s)·         All 1700 and 1800 series SD-45s were delivered in Blue (this would be all N&W SD-45s)·         All 1900 series U-28Bs were delivered in Blue (this would be all N&W U-28Bs)·         All 1900 series U-30Bs were delivered in Blue (8400-8514  were black with “half-moons” and 8515-8539 were black with NW) ·         C-628s - 1110-1129, the second order of C-628s, were delivered in Blue (the first
 order 1100-1109 were black with “half-moons”)·         All 1100 series C-630s were delivered in Blue (this would be all N&W C-630s)  Ed Painter - Narrows, VA living in Russellville, AR
