Beautiful front view of the NYC "lightning stripe" in the two tone gray paint scheme. According to one online source, most railfans are unaware that there were at least 14 variations of the stripe within the ten year span when it was used. This is the full length wide side stripe with the name below the stripe on the side. An unkown photographer took this photo around June of 2006. |
