ALLEN Date: 01/14/21 06:07 Re: Think this might be the CNW... Author: bbaker In the final years of the C&NW, many units were repainted in the traditional yellow scheme. A good number wore the Operation Lifesaver scheme, too. This was probably due to the realization that "new yellow" bleached out rather quickly. GE had to repaint the 8500 series C40-8's as a warranty expense. Unfortunately these bright yellow units were described in the railfan community as "Zito Yellow".
