Yellow stripe decals on locos

[OldEastRR]

Was there a New Haven standard for these? I've seen pictures of both FAs and PAs in the pullman green-yellow markings scheme that show both versions: one where the yellow stripe on the nose goes up and over the hood back to the windshield, and a version where the stripe stops at the top of the headlight housing and the hood has none. Was this some variation that came about in the painting series?

Apparently, there are no photos anywhere of NH PAs in the green/yellow scheme taken from above and in front of the loco. Not a single one.

I'd say your chances of finding a photo that was never taken are low.

I used the same technology used in the terminator movies to go back in time and make sure there were indeed photos taken.

What did you do for clothes when you got there? More importantly, How did you get back? Might've been easier taking the DeLorean.

The second photo was before Skynet went online.

And it's pretty easy to use, too...

While everyone is teasing @OldEastRR with pictures of PA noses, I'll note that the picture of 0777 that @DKS posted is the first one that is definitively in the green & yellow scheme that he said he was having difficulty finding pictures of.  The others appear to be in the Pullman-Green+(dulux?) scheme (New Haven had LOTS of color scheme variatiosn).

(New Haven had LOTS of color scheme variatiosn).

Indeed. A few more for the road. They're not ideal, but perhaps somewhat useful.

They were originally delivered in Hunter Green and Duluxe Gold striping. Later schemes were the orange and black, later the McGinnis Socony Red, white, and black and the Alpert administration paint.

Now, if somebody can loan me that time travel technology, I want to go back and make some of those decal stripes come out straight.

Come to think of it, if I could go back and save my old comic book collection in mint condition, I could sell them now and buy some really nice locomotives.  But, I don't think I could convince my younger self to give them up without a fight.  I'll just get more decals, thanks.

While you are there, give me a call and tell me to put my baseball cards in a water-proof container.

If you really like time travel, go ahead and add Google Books to your search; it's just absurd the documents that have been scanned in there.

I was able to trace my property records back to the revolutionary war.   I found a US Army Corps report recommending a major flood dam be built on my property.   I found evidence my grandfather helped move bodies out of a fatal train wreck as a child (article in the New York Times) that my grandmother had told me gave him the equivalent of PTSD the rest of his life.  I found the service record of my great-grandfather in the Civil War at Antietam. 

I cease to be amazed, only by the occasional thing I absolutely can't actually find, like why Fedex Ground lost my box from Micro-Mark for two weeks in West Virginia.

"Siri, find my Micro-Mark shipment."

Done.

Could it be that they were just dirty in some of of the photos? Jason posted two pics of the same unit, seemingly in the same paint scheme, but one photo appears not to have the stripe to the windshield:
