I recently picked up a 4Q68 issue of the 'Burlington Bulletin' off of
ebay. It has a cover photo of the 629 in experimental paint going
through a wash rack. Should be in my mail box this weekend!
Does any one know if the road numbers on the U23C's and GP40 were
green or black?
Wasn't the GN 'Big Sky Blue' also considered an experimental scheme?
