[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by AntonioFP45 Had a pleasant surprise surfing New Haven related sites. An old color picture of a New Haven Alco DL109 in McGinnis colors! I had always thought that these units remained in the green colors until they were retired. Sad that none of these units survived. JoeCool, Sounds like you're referring to the present modern equipment thats been "painted" in the New Haven scheme. This was done by a state agency, not sure which one. It is really neat the New Haven "lives on". The actual New Haven Railroad was absorbed into the Penn Central on or just before 1970, which in the mid-70s became Conrail. [/quote] Actually these units were painted in several differant paint schemes. Green with yellow pin stripes was one, layer cake was another, black with white or silver pin stripes, and McGinnis. There may be 1 or 2 more, would have to check my book. Oh ya, Cranberry with white pin stripes. Actually I think the Cranberry was really a color called China Red.
