To settle once and for all the question of the accuracy of the date of
the photo of unit 9947B with black nose stripes, purportedly taken on
June 1, 1968, I have a color slide, which I took myself, of the 9947B
arriving in Denver with a passenger train on Dec. 23, 1963, and the nose
stripes are red. As a very regular observer of the changeover process
from black to red stripes, and also having seen the repaint dates for
the E-units in company files, I am quite certain that all of them were
repainted red by March 1960. One or two units were, for a short time,
painted with the large nose stripes in red and the imitation grilles on
either side of the headlight still in black, but that was a very
short-lived experiment.

Based on some of his CRIP photos I'm 99.9% sure "Godfather-
rail's" dates are not always accurate.
