EFRR 2716. Note 2716 is wearing the two tone red scheme with Hi-Viz Yellow safety striping to frame sill and steps. Note that the yellow striping and I think also the yellow feathering behind the radiator have changed to a more rounded finish where previously they curved parabolically to the deck at an angle which almost matched the bracing running down to the bottom of the front steps. There is a similar shot of 2716 outside the TQW warehouse here on this site [search thru Effingham photos] which shows a similar view of 2716 wearing the first EFRR paint scheme of red with yellow stripes but no sill striping. This is the current EFRR scheme and serves as the basis for the paint job on IW 7570. Interestingly the author of this photo on the flickr photo website mentions [12 months ago] that he thinks EFRR is no longer running. Has someone forgotten to tell the folks at EFRR this? If you live local to the EFRR or are visiting and wish to take some photos then please contact EFRR to let them know when you are coming and to obtain a liability waiver/permission slip. You know Bad Apples, 9/11, etc, yada, yada, yada. Again if you do take some photos then please contact me. |
