BLACK

[NW Modeling List]

He is right.   I used to view ex-SOU and ex-N&W GP30's on NS grain trains
parked at Clare Yard in Cincinnati in the early 1990's.  While the N&W's
were a greenish-gray black that had a bunch of fading to a matte finish, the
SOU's tended to stay glossier and kinda blacker but the loco hood's had a
lot more rusting along the lower edges.  And the N&W's were earlier GP30
Phase 1's and the Southerns were all Phase 2's

Don't laugh. Norfolk and Western's black actually faded to a different sheen
than Southern's black. Southern faded to a richer black it that makes any
sense.
