Thanks, all, for the Red Bird information.  Just what I was looking for.

I have photos of Red Bird GP-9s with Gothic Heralds; Red Bird GP-9s with Hamburger Heralds and Pevler Blue GP-9s with Hamburger Heralds.

But the one combination that I have never seen is a Pevler Blue GP-9 with a Gothic Herald.  That would truly be an amazing find.

Wouldn't everyone agree?

The Red Bird paint scheme first appeared in the fall of 1958, and was not changed until blue became standard in 1965. However not all units were repainted at that time, so the scheme lasted awhile longer.

When did the Red Bird paint scheme first appear and how long did it last?
Thanks.
