Mike, here's a Rich Tubbs collection shot of it in B/Y rolling through Marion with an EMD GP35 demo (!). Its life in B/Y was pretty
short, however. It ran around in "patched" DL&W paint (with its EL number) into at least March of 1962, and the earliest shot I
have of it in B/Y was April 1964. There seems to be a BIG gap in my photo collection until 1970, when it's in full GMY.
