the subject is my question, any alcos in black widow paint scheme?

I’m not an SP expert or anything, but weren’t their PA units painted in “Black Widow” paint at one point?

There were RS11’s delivered in the ‘Black Widow’ paint scheme. Not sure about a PA though. I think a single E8A may have been repainted from ‘Daylight’ to ‘Black Widow’ before the ‘Bloody Nose’ scheme became the system standard.

The PAs were never painted black widow.A couple were painted in the experimental haloween scheme(black with an orange nose)though. However two E9s were painted black widow in the same era.

Some freight ALCos were painted black widow. The RS11s,RSD5s,and Cotton Belt RS3s,I believe.
