This shade of green started the rumour that Engine #20 was going to war and was sold to the army. Note the sickening OD shade.
Dirk was in charge of the painting back then and there is a rumour he's color blind.
Regardless of the color, you have to admit #20 has great lines and is a neat locomotive.
