Well, that paint job certainly is an antique. Would take some serious prep work to get another coat. Boxcab E50
Hey, give her a break, Ken. She's 91 years old in loco years. You should look so good by then.... :tb-tongue:
According to the KCS Historical Society roster (http://www.kcshs.org/schedule/subs/images/rosters/kcsroster.xls), she was delivered new in March, 1978. So I thought that 3:1 sounded reasonable. Though considering there are locos still operating in revenue service, i.e. non-tourist and non-restoration, that were delivered ~60 years ago, maybe 1.5:1 would be more accurate. So I should apologize for casting aspersions on your age and physique. :tb-embarrassed: Anyhoo, I think it's neat to catch an old gal like her still operating, and possibly in her original paint scheme. :tb-cool:
Well, I sometimes wonder about those older units. First generation stuff. Perhaps we should view them in feline terms? Seeming to have nine lives? :tb-smile: Boxcab E50
