Nostalgia & History > Need Color Photo - Lehigh Valley C-628 #636 in Cornell RedDate: 08/25/16 18:21 Need Color Photo - Lehigh Valley C-628 #636 in Cornell Red Author: boejoe Have tried the Fallen Flags and Photo Archives websites with no luck. Have also tried Morning Sun LV #1 and #2 with no success. Not sure if this was delivered in Snow Bird scheme or obtained second hand from Monon. Any suggestions are appreciated. TIA.

Posted from Android Date: 08/25/16 22:51 Re: Need Color Photo - Lehigh Valley C-628 #636 in Cornell Red Author: boejoe I wondered about that. I have photos of units on either side of 636 and believed it, too, ended up in red.

The ex-Monon units were the higher numbers in the series. A spotting feature was the plate on the nose where the oscillating lights the Monon had on them used to be.

They were all repainted by ALCO into the Snow bird scheme before delivery to the LV. I know a few units never saw cornell red, but can't tell you which ones.
