Ed: As I already mentioned to you, it is missing the stripe along the boiler above the footplate. But I think this was an error in the way it was painted, not a distinguishing feature between "northbound/soundbound" paint schemes - if such paint schemes even existed. Knowing your sense of humor, I am wondering if you are setting us SP fans up for a good laugh. As Lee Johnson noted, on the Espee trains were either WESTBOUND or EASTBOUND. So I am skeptical. <VBG> However, for a NYC guy, you know a lot about the SP so I am going to have to hit the books (Specifically Robert Church's excellent book on these beautiful locomotives). I will go to my library after the Holiday Bowl tonight (you all are watching, right <VBG>). Go Bears!
