Updated 27 Oct. 1999
Update sources: Martin Baumann and Robert Oom 

NOTE:  The 3003, 3009, 3074, 3072 have been completely repainted in the "new" 
paint scheme with large numbers on the side of the hood like BN and the 
LS&I herald under the cab window.  The paint scheme is nearly indentical to 
the BN since the new shade of green appears to match the BN color whereas 
in the old "touch-up" scheme the green didn't match very well. (Robert Oom)
