N&W C420 413-420 paint question
Author: nydepot

I've been looking at photos attempting to piece together what of these 8 engines wore what paint scheme when they hit the deadline. Can anyone help with any specific engine? This would be circa 1979. I've found 413 in the black hamburger scheme. Thank you.

Here's what I can glean from WIthers and Bowers book N&W Second Generation Diesels:
413 - black, large N&W lettering, 4/72.
414 - black or blue, round herald, 5/74.
415 - black NW, late '76.
417 - black, large N&W lettering, 4/76.
419 - black, round herald, 2/75.
420 - black or blue, round herald.
I would doubt any were ever painted blue, but I don't know for sure.
