Green boiler jacets...again
| February 20, 2010 09:20AM |
I was skimming through my copy of "Narrow Gauge Pictorial vol. 1" this morning and came across something that will add more fuel to the fire of the "dreaded green boiler jacket controversy". On page 144, there is a very clear photo of the #482 taken in the Durango yards on July 3, 1933. The boiler jacket and air compressor are definitly painted a color which is truly lighter than the rest of the locomotive. What are your thoughts?
