RE: (erielack) Croxton Piggyback Operations (was Pics)

I noticed something curious about the picture of 363 sitting at Croxton.  This may have something to do with the sunlight reflection or something else.  The Yellow stripes along the side of the engine appear to be a lighter shade than the yellow on the end of the locomotive.  Did EL use different yellows, or was this the sun or dirt?

The photo is looking west towards HX from west of  New County Rd.. The loco
is on the service track, fuel track 2. The loaded pigs appear to be on
either the eastbound or westbound main. The emptys are on the storage
tracks, the Hanarhan, the Pig Iron or the extension. Hope this helps.
