Nathan,

The so-called "skunk" units had a broad white stripe with the Norfolk and Western lettering in black inside the stripe. Sort of resembled Southern units. I don't remember now how many there were, or what the numbers were, but I believe there was about 4 of them.

I modeled one of these in N scale recently. Rather striking units among the normal solid black.
