CA&E 319 painting update

Red and Gray completed

Jim Followell and his helpers finished painting the gray this past Wednesday and the red was completed today. Sometime tomorrow the 319 will be moved out of the diesel shop back over to barn 8, and the 409 will be brought into the diesel shop.

Additional photos have been added to the CA&E 319 Restoration Gallery. To continue this aggressive restoration project with lettering and painting trucks and underframe accessories, additional monies and donations are still needed. To help with this project, please consider a donation to the Electric Car Department Car Painting Fund, your support will be appreciated.
