She wore her green well
Author: srman

From when she was built in 1911 until the 1960's Southern 4501 was black however it wore her green well for nearly thirty years. She represented the Southern's heritage of when PS4's raced along its track from 1926 into the 1940's. Here are three images taken in 1991 at Chattanooga, Danville Ky. and finally at Hollywood Alabama. Thanks for looking.

She's an old war horse and looked good in the passenger scheme, but I much prefer her in her present livery.  Had she been a 4-6-2 or 4-8-2, green all the way.
No matter what, it's great she is still out there running.

Currently running without the white striping, as well, and it looks great. The front step is still white because one of the engineers who likes flamboyant looking engines ripped the black tape off.

Must admit that I never cared for the green. Having been on her, and attempted to fire her, on the K&T, during Paul Marriman's learning and purchase of her in 1963, I've always preferred her in Southern black.
