can anyone tell me if the soo line candy apple red sd40-2s had black walkways and a black on the top of the short hood thank in advance for your responses
Well.....lets have a look. Not all of these are SD 40-2s, But all of the red locomotives were painted the same. Here are a some roof shots I took. Enjoy. this one is a little small Looks like your right, black on the top of the walkways and the top of the short hood.
I got the scanner messed up and I didn't scan all of the slides big enough. Here are some from the ground, just for fun.
I couldn't remember the walkways. But the photos Jeff has posted prove to me that they were black. Probably the same anti-slip stuff as on the hood. Boxcab E50
I should know this!... well, straight candy apple is not red/white. Obviously from the photos Jeff has supplied they are black non-slip treatment on the factory painted SD60's. The repaints (GP38-2's, etc) would have had the same. I have seen shots of GP9u's with black front walkways and suspect the long hood walkways to be the same. Hope this is of help.
