Ok, not from New Zealand, but the color match, and the story behind is meaningful:

Show me a steam engine with 4 headlights (any country)
Jones1945If the answer is positive, please show me a train in Aquamarine.
Good eye for color! (Even though the colorimeter in the Mac claims it's very different!) Suits me. Will this do?
What's next ... show me something in fuchsia? New Zealanders could give us something in gamboge...
Overmod Is this pink enough for you? Keeping the spirit going -- show me a train in chartreuse.

Keeping the spirit going -- show me a train in chartreuse.
I know you have a very high standard for many things, Overmod.
It looks chartreuse under bright sunlight. is it close enough?
If the answer is positive, please show me a train in Aquamarine.

Did I say I was picky?

OvermodWhat I wanted was a picture of the UPS Z-train testing behind Genesis locomotives, but I couldn't find one posted. So can someone show me one?
I can only get the UPS and GE part.

HarrisonShow me any freight loco.
Well, it's pulling freight cars. M&E in baggage cars is something different. There are plenty of examples (PRR, EL, and LV come immediately to mind) where locomotives we typically associate only with passenger service (and with some reason!) were used in freight service ... the PRR use of E units on TrucTrains, without automatic back transition to everyone's eventual sorrow, being a pointed example.

Ok- I think we are getting off topic, and it's been 24 hrs, so time to move on.

Show me any freight loco.
When I was stationed at Chanute AFB in Illinois (early 70'd) I often hung around the IC/ICG station downtown. I think it was still directional running at the time (it's single track now), so any crossing over required a train order. Rantoul had a crane (two forked sticks that swung down after the order was grabbed), but occasionally the station agent would have to hoop orders up as well.
Never saw anyone miss - which would have involved stopping to get the paper.

zardoz jeffhergert It's almost been 40 years since I took a photo like that. And how long has it been since you had to grab orders like that?

I've never had the pleasure of grabbing orders. However, I did get to "hand them up" a couple of times. 40+ years ago on the Rock Island at Marengo, Iowa on the siding, the main track had a fixed train order stand.
I have a couple of Y train order delivery forks. I did a couple of demonstrations of the procedure over at the Boone & Scenic Valley about 15 or so years ago. Not quite the same as handing up real train orders, though.

zardoz Or, asking the same qustion of Jeff, differently, "Did you ever grab one like that?"I still remember my first time...on my first road trip (off the switchemn's extra board--I was a fireman on 483, when firemen were still required on the Wisconsin Division). I'm thankful the engineer trusted me enough to get it right and go for the hole, not the tissue--which I did. Get it right, that is. This was at KO. jeffhergert It's almost been 40 years since I took a photo like that. And how long has it been since you had to grab orders like that?

Electroliner 1935 zugmann How about a temporary block operator? Not the greatest quality photo, from probably 2005ish (judging from the F150). Doens't seem like that long ago when I took it. My observation on this photo is that if the engineer leans out any further, he may be headed toward the ground and the hoop is not high enough for him to snag it.

My observation is if he leaned out any further out the window, he would probably get stuck. I know I would.
