<html><body>I grew up in the 80s, so I didn't get to witness 1970s era N&W firsthand, but it's probably my favorite N&W era for diesels. While there are a variety of sources to help identify what classes of hopper cars were in service, I'm curious about the mix of paint schemes. Looking through "Norfolk And Western In Color Volume 3", it looks like the 1960s era half-moon/hamburger schemes, albeit with consolidated lube plates and other updated data, were actually more common than cars in the NW scheme that would have been the current scheme at the time. <div><br></div><div>Can anyone else confirm this, or know of other sources I should look at?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>Marty Flick</div></body></html>
