Blue SD35

[NW Mailing List]

On page 122 of Steven Timko's Norfolk & Western in Color Volume 2 there is a photo of Train Master 159, clearly in blue paint.

  I have shots of blue RS-11's and GP-9's but clean fresh paint would be a problem.  Please correct me with if you have conclusive evidence otherwise, but I don't recall any former Virginian Trainmasters being painted in the Pevler Blue scheme.  I have some missing units in my slide collection but of those I do have none are in blue.  The former Wabash H-24-66's that were repowered by ALCO were all painted in Pevler Blue (I have shots of all of them) and some of former Virginian H-16-44's were also painted Pevler Blue.

    This is a pretty interesting thread.  I'm not looking to get this thread off topic, but I'm considering moving my modeling efforts from modern NS to 60's-70's-80's N&W and I'm looking for some photos.  Would anyone happen to have any photos of a clean or newly painted blue GP9, RS11, or ex-Virginian Trainmaster? Any help would be nice.


    -Have a nice day!

      -

       N&W units were generally so dirty during the 70's it wasn't always easy to determine their actual color.
      Some I.C.C. accident reports on file at the D.O.T. library are missing , but there
      are two which involved SD35s.  

      7/17/68 - Engs 1550-382-820-1531 collided with a gas truck at Abingdon
      8/19/70 - Extra 1529 East - head-end collision at Pembroke, VA.

      Don't know if these SD35s survived, but you might want to check and see
      if the color changed after wreck damage repairs.

      As info. Eng 1531 was also in a pusher consist in a head=end collision
      at Finney.

      Not an SD35, but an Alco RS-3 painted blue and assigned to yard
      service at Sandusky.  The "N&W" had faded from the herald and some
      one had drawn a "happy face" on it.  The inspection train went to 
      Sandusky that year and when R. F. Dunlap saw it, he busted out
      laughing.  No, his face didn't shatter.                  Harry Bundy
