Re: The Lightning Stripe Scheme


 

And don't forget the small blue numbers applied to the sideframes of most, if not all, of the 5000's in the late 1960's.??

Hi!
?? While looking at images of Rs-3s and Rs-11/36s I noticed some changes. At first, it appears there were no side numbers. At some point, the side numbers were added. There were two styles, Railroad Roman and Gothic. So when were the side numbers added, and was there a plan to which loco received which lettering? Many, if not all of the 6-axel power received yellow numbers near the radiator exhaust. Did others receive the yellow numbers?

Lastly, when did the D&H start applying the large side numbers?
