Nostalgia & History > Unquestionably an Absolutely Bold Paint Scheme - 1987Date: 11/28/20 00:12 Unquestionably an Absolutely Bold Paint Scheme - 1987 Author: krm152 This photo was taken on Sunday, Oct 11, 1987. The Indiana & Ohio had painted their #56 an EMD GP7 ex-C&O #5705 in this absolutely bold red and maroon scheme specifically for powering the tourist train they operated out of Lebanon, OH south to Mason, the location of the my posted photo. #56 still stood out even on this unfortunately dreary day.

Thanks for the image. Gary Date: 11/28/20 12:17 Re: Unquestionably an Absolutely Bold Paint Scheme - 1987 Author: GN599 For an 80's scheme it's not that bad. I would have made the upper pinstripe come to a V and made the emblem on the nose a touch bigger👍🏻

Part of this lease time it was numbered CSS #1502. after return to C&O, it was renumbered back to #5705. ALLEN Date: 11/28/20 19:49 Re: Unquestionably an Absolutely Bold Paint Scheme - 1987 Author: SCKP187 That is a beautiful paint scheme---the 2 shades of red fit perfectly together.
