I forgot to mention the PA,s on the D & H were numbered 16,17,18,19, hay check out the paint scheme and I think you would agree it was the best under the D & H.
They forgot the Delaware & Hudson had these PA,s also and I must say the paint scheme was by far the best with the LIGHTNING STRIP with the blue and silver, and I do would have liked if it was done in the D &H colors !
