NW 1776 questions:

[NW Mailing List]

The Tuscan Red GE's were 8010, 8076, 8077, 8078, 8079 and 8080. Curiously,  
the last two GE's of that order, 8081 and 8082 were black.
 
Thanks

Harry,
 
I believe you are right that the GE 8076 was red (Tuscan, that is  - let's 
not start on what color "Tuscan Red" is. It depends on what  the meaning of 
"is" is).
 
But I know from personal sitings that Mr. Claytor was assigned the  6175, 
EMD, SD40-2, which was also painted red..
 
I photographed him at Blue Ridge one day, with a younger Claytor  firing 
for him.

Jeff:
You are indeed correct.  It wasn't until I got home (from the  library) and 
checked the Bowers'
book on 2nd generation diesel power that I found eng. 8076 wasn't  built 
until 1979. Besides,
I suspect the simplicity of an EMD (compared with a GE) and the  color and 
Mr. Claytor's
uh, seniority, were valid reasons for the  selection.        Harry  Bundy
