Nostalgia & History > How many did SP do up like this?Date: 05/31/05 19:48 How many did SP do up like this? Author: photobob 6431 is shown heading up train 620 at Castle Crags back in 1961. The emblem was removed and the front door repainted with SP applied to it.

They probably figured that it was easier to just paint the "SP" on the door rather than find another medallion. Notice that the silver paint on the door is fresher than the rest. I would guess that they didn't actively remove medallions until they went in for scarlet and gray paint.
