Scheme #3a and 3b
| This
slide of Geeps 5933/5941/5923/510X at Pueblo in 1958 clearly
illustrates the difference between the two versions of the
Rio Grande's early road switcher scheme. The first two GP9s
(built in 1956) clearly have Aspen Gold striping of the
No.3b scheme, while the the third GP9 (built in 1955) and
the GP7 (built in 1952) have Duco Imitation Gold stripes
of the No.3a scheme. Note that the bright yellow has bleached/chalked
to a creamy yellow. Jim Parker photo. |
