GP9 Interior Color and Herald Plate

I think it was a matter of not a lot of them were saved, or if they were,
they certainly have not surfaced. I think some of the issue there was the
folks who were fans in the 1950s were mostly steam fans, when the diesels
came, a lot of those folks simply found other stuff to do, and were not
really collecting. I can see that happened in Roanoke, active NRHS group,
steam left, people left, young ones to college or relationships, no time to
fool with a lot. One fellow here, Bill Cecil, took a lot of great N&W steam
and early diesel stuff 1955-1960, then it was like he dropped off the face
of the earth until the mid 1970s. He did not go shoot much for those middle
years.

Here is a photo of one that I saw in an antique mall about 4 years back,
and yes, it is long since gone, was the same one I was later offered. Sorry
for the poor quality, it was a phone photo.
