Need help from experts

[PhilaKnight]

I am mainly in the toy trains forums but I think this one could answer my question a little better. I'm starting a project of a model of a PRR GE E-2B. All the pictures I have found are black and white. What I need to know is what color are they, green or tuscan? And if anyone knows if they were used for fright or passenger service. Any help would be great.

The E2b was one of three experimental designs operated by PRR after WW2 in order to get some real-world data to help in coming up with something to replace the P5's in freight service.  They were painted green and operated in freight service only.

The E2b was a straight AC locomotive like the P5 and GG1.  The other two designs, the E2c and E3b, were rectifier locomotives built by Baldwin-Westinghouse and had a carbody with a vague resemblance to a Shark.

Note that this is Brunswick Green, like most GG-1's, and is practically black.   Very dark green indeed.
