... Actually, Fritz, it was the RIGHT green, but it had faded a bit by then.
For a closer approximation - though possibly 1/2 of one percent too blue - ride the D&SNG "Green Train" on 08/19 - or at least meet the train when we arrive in Silverton.* IIRC, it will even have an engine with matching Dark Olive Green boiler jacket, cylinder jacket and D.O.G. jacket on the steam cylinders of the air pump.

* But PLEASE don't tell the JéBeeWex - IIRC, he'll be on the Silver Vista, and I'd hate to have him cancel his reservation just on account of a little green paint!
