NNG Green (and other colors) Locomotives

Just to stoke the "green fires" a bit, here are a couple of photographs of Crowell Longleaf Lumber Co. Engines, taken by Gordon Crowell in 1953.
And for those of you who want to know how accurate the color is, Gordon took pictures of a color wheel for his first and last pictures of each day. These two pictures are from a set that he did for us at the Southern Forest Heritage Museum, and he matched the colorwheel pictures to the original color wheel and used the same settings in Photoshop to print these.
The third photo is the woods engine, #202 in the woods in JUne of 1954 taken by Edmund Hays.
Enjoy these Russ!
