Model Railroading > CN paint scheme question.....(Revised)

Anybody know what year the following CN scheme pictured below was first used?:

---

I do not know the dates, but the large CN noodle logo replaced the two-tone green scheme...in the early 60's I would guess.
Then came the Zebra stripe scheme...which lasted till the CN north america scheme...with a few notable repainted zebrastripe exceptions recently released by Shops at Winnipeg and Homewood.

for more info, you can cut and paste this:

Thanks, Kris, the link worked directly without cutting and pasting, I appreciate the link, there is alot of interesting information on the CN website, but not sbout the paint schemes. Unfortunately, the linked page only deals with the history/evolution of CN's logo.

1962 is a good date

You might get an answer if you post your question on the nostalgia board.

Thank you, I will do that next, and I have modified my question to find out when the scheme transitioned to the 'Stripes' scheme. Thank you to everyone that has responded, I appreciate it!

1961

If the original question pertains to zebra stripes and a yellow sill stripe on a hood unit, that scheme made its debut on with the first M420W #2500 delivered in 1973. Repainted units including the C424 shown would have trickled out between 1973 and the appearance of the CN North America scheme in 1992.

Zebra stripes did of course appear on EMD, MLW and CLC cab units as noted starting in 1961.

That's what I was looking for, thanks Doug!
