Also known as “Blackjack” – and not ‘Big Red’ or one of the other obvious things a locomotive in Tuscan would be called…
It’s actually worse. I watched Loewy sign the locomotive and still didn’t figure out it was not red. Guess I thought it was lighting, or something; the assumption that a five-stripe ‘historical’ repaint would be in red, like 4877 later was … and I have a funny story about that, too, although not regarding its color … was that strong.
