With all the talk about N&W #1531, I just looked at the builder's plate from that unit. There is NO overspray of any paint on the plate. This sometimes happens and it will give you a clue to the paint. The plate is in good condition with only minor dings. It survived the wreck.

Eng. 1531 was the trailing unit in the consist that hit the gas truck in Abingdon
on 7/17/68 and it was 117 cars deep pushing Extra 1805 East at Finney on
8/25/70 when the SD45 collided with a westbound. Apparently the SD35
had a knack for dodging trouble. Harry Bundy
