Interesting that the loco in the newest shot (1976) is still in the former owner's paint. Neat pictures.

#3 is the first time I've ever seen any unit patched for Amtrak. Interesting.

In the early years most E units were patched. I have slides of C&O/B&O, BN silver(x-CBQ), L&N, RF&P, SCL and UP, all patched under the cab windows. Interestingly I have many PC black and BN green with the white hockey stick and none of those are patched.
