Santa Fe Tarpon Gray color?
Author: Frisco1522

Is Santa Fe's Tarpon Gray basically just graphite color?   It's on the smokebox front, stack and front end throttle cover plate.  Anyone have a color shot of a clean front end?  I'm painting one in HO and want it to be correct.

Here's a nearly spotless AT&SF 3450 watering at Riverbank, CA after pulling the "Tuolumne Chief" excursion from Oakland in 1952.

Thanks Evan!  That's a great shot and it appears to me to be a medium colored graphite.
