The Oddball

In the name of historical accuracy, CNS&M 768 has lost its stripes.


Earlier this week, when I first posted this drawing, a discussion arose on the Yahoo group for the CNS&M. The question was posed, "What else did the Lake Forest Man notice about the rear car?" Well it turns out that When the North Shore redid 768 as a Silverliner, they decided to cut the shadow striping from the side in an effort to save money. The result is above. It just doesn't look right, and needless to say, it was taken back to Highwood for finishing soon after.

Until next time,
Zach
