Ed:
I guess I'll go to Sacramento for completing my education. In the meantime I'll share my stupidity with the group. Rerun Ron Des Plaines Hi Ron....Nice try, but that is not even close. I was referring to the paint scheme on the loco when it traveled in the SOUTHBOUND direction as opposed to the paint scheme on the loco when it traveled in the NORTHBOUND direction. You tried to change the question, but it didn't work. But a darn good try, I might add. Any more ideas out there in DPH-land?

Aw comon Ed, give 'em a hard one. Even us Midwesterners know the ball of the ball and wings on the Daylight insignia is always toward the front of the locomotive on both the north side and south side of the loco. You were, of course, refering to the sides of the loco north and south) not NORTHBOUND and SOUTHBOUND, the direction of travel. sound like you may have been over to Sacramento reading about Charles Eggelstons work on the design of the insignia. Perhaps one can tell us why the engineer's side is the north and the copilots is the south side.
