Note that the first FTs did not have the "Rio Grande" flanking the headlight on the nose. http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?00010829+OP-10829 Also the color changed from Dulux Gold to Duco Imitation Gold when the paint schem was updated. http://utahrails.net/drgw/rg-diesel-paint-schemes.php
Good points! Thanks for bringing that to my attention! I didn't notice the 'Rio Grande' on the nose difference..
