Can U identify in Chimenea repaint?
Google will feel not guilt when someone ask it! Bob.
Huh?
Disneyland!
Either I am too old or Americana is history!
Fallen Flag RR’s, um - Sean you may see 1/2 of scheme in your area, the remainder are NY - Northeastern/Eastern PA - NJ.
Fallen Flag TRIVIA - Part 2 can not be seen until tomorrow; David - Disneyland is a Fallen Flag ???
and, and - to my Conflict buddies the bonus colors!
Central Jersey?
Yes, YES - David… you have the 1st! ORANGE and BLUE!
Terminated in Wilkes-Barre in Ashley; Glen Alden Breaker to be history, if not already. Project was to preserve, but that seems to have gone by the wayside! The CJ came out of Ashley and the long climb to the Bear Creek side of the mountain to curve on the backside to Laurel Run, then the MountainTop cut to White Haven etc.
A senior in Kingston High School, I would watch movement from across the valley when 2nd floor classes were scheduled!
Guam, think I may have been there in travels! I think EOD blasted out some swiming holes! *before my time.
OK…it should be titled FALLEN FLAGS then …PRR and Reading are the other two?
MEC green and Yellow ?
I thought all the paint represented one railroad.

So did I but realized it probably didn’t
Bob, Disneyland is the only thing that came to mind when I saw all them colours. If you are mixing colours from different fallen flags, then you lost me. But, then again, it isn’t all that difficult to loose me sometimes.
Ok, ok - Green/Yellow READING RR & presently READING & NORTHERN + others as identified (MEC) etc.; Red/Black LEHIGH VALLEY RR + possible PRR with Yellow striping; Orange/Blue CENTRAL JERSEY.
Now these colors on the Chimenea were painted from Equipment Paints of rural America; those of us from the farms can relate! (4) manufacturer colors.
and - the final match, (3) colors for us Vets with a license plate!
The green and yellow remind me of a train in Ireland called the Offaley Bog train.
The green could also be Penn Central.
The orange could be Lionel and throw the blue in there too.
The maroon could be Cape Cod Central but that one is still rolling.
Nice colours

Naw, that is a nice green, to be Penn Central green, it has to be a light, puke green colour.
Now, off to Rural America; equipment colors were used matching manufacturer colors.
(5) colors from ‘4’ manufacturers…
Yellow -
Green -
Red -
Orange -
Blue -
Can some kind soul explain what the heck this post is about ?
All I see is an odd coloured barbeque thingy followed by lots of odd railway names .

Well done John; this post started when I purchased farm equipment paints, remembering when I operated tractors of the colors. Maybe Mike is a city dude and not old enough remembering colors!
Then, then - I saw the Fallen Flags of NEPA, all local RRs that came into the Wyoming Valley * Pensy as well;
today Candadian Pacific runs both directions N/S along the east side of the Susquehanna River over original Delaware & Hudson trackage to WB, then Pennsy from Wilkes-Barre down to the Sunbury/Northumblerland area above Harrisburg-continues to Potomac Yard. The CNJ Mountaintop cut-off is used for CP & Reading Northern as well, this trackage was CNJ & shared with the Lehigh Valley.
now You have identified: YELLOW/GREEN - John Deere
RED - Farmall
ORANGE - ALLIS CHALMERS
BLUE - FORD
Now, for the final post tomorrow: some of us Veterans served in a conflict identified with (3) of the colors shown!
*License plate commeration!

Mike is 77 . So Mike remembers colours , but only LMS Maroon , GWRGreen , LNER Blue , and SR Green .
But during WW2 they were all dirty black . That colours the memory a little .
