A very few streamlined pre-war K-4's were painted TUSCAN. Freight diesels and some passenger diesels were also painted "Brunswick Green" post-war, but, quite a few of the designated passenger units ( Diesel and several, posssibly 5, electric GG1's) ) were painted TUSCAN to match the cars they pulled. The basic theory is that if the PENNSY did it , it was RIGHT!!!! The 57 GG1's which eventually entered PRR freight service did so with minor brake pressure adjustments and supposedly not much more to affect the changeover. The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania (RRMPA) stables 2 GG1's, 4935 "Blackjack" in Brunswick Green and the original, 4800 "Old Rivets" in some stage of repainting to Brunswick Green. Steam locomotives with ROUND number plates on the front were almost always freight assigned, KEYSTONE number boards were used on passenger assigned engines.
