<snip> from an esthetic viewpoint, the Central's lightning stripes
aren't much better than the Pennsy's pin stripes. When either road ran
ABB combinations, they looked better but when operated with a trailing
A unit the continuity effect was lost. <snip>
The other interesting feature of the NYC lightning stripes was the
difference in width between the E7 and E8 stripes. Not a great deal,
but enought to show an offset when coupled together back to back as in
an E8a-E7b-E8a consist. I suppose it was their equivalent of a 30'
paint job or the general feeling it all looked pretty good at 70 mph!!
Every RR had to deal with the point esthetics met practical...
