Shades of Yellow  Contributor's Pick!       
A pair of CNW GP38-2s from the same cancelled Rock Island order bring a transfer through the KC West Bottoms in July 1993. 4610 is as delivered, with the traditional CNW shade of yellow while sister 4614 carries the later "Zito" hue; which quickly faded in use from a highly visable image of yellow into something closer to old tapioca.

Zach Pumphery General A few of the those P5 horns like the 4614 sports are still around on the UP, and some undoubtedly came from those cancelled Rock Island orders of units delivered with them. 11/17/2008 10:44:22 AM
George Redmond General Great shot. 12/23/2008 5:34:35 PM
