The 9912A was the last E5 in service. About a week or two
in suburban service during Dec of 64. I did not see it run after
that.
It had three red stripes on each side of the lower headlight and
a bunch of thin red stripes underneath and on both sides of the
Mars light. Each side looks like there was a little door installed
but the stripes go right over it.
No, it did not have the horizontal red stripes down the entire length
of the sides.
