Thank you, sir!! Next week, I'm gonna try to work some M-8s into the mix. Of course, this will come at the loss of my morning coffee from downstairs in the station at NH, but hey, it will come out good!! I will see what next week brings, good buddy!! :-) (BT6W, the M-8s will be ESPECIALLY for you!! It will be better for you than a set of LIRR pix!! :-D)

Those M-2s, and some M-4s, paint was never re-coated, in fact I believe those are still in their original paint!! That is what happens when they sit out constantly in the sun in places like the New Haven Line yards. I would think also washing in acid solution didn't help either. Some cars paint seem to hold up more than others. Also another factor to possibly consider.....the salty air from the Long Island Sound, which can also wreak havoc on paint!! Prime example.....look at the discoloration of the once Tuscan Red paint on the Hell Gate Bridge!!

They are doing panel replacement on the #6 just a little ways down from me, but it looks like for today, they wrapped up and normal service has run.

I believe that was the Mini Bomb from 6502, 0149 GCT to NH. #6504, my train up from GCT, is solely electrics, and on this day it was 8 M-2s.
