The streamlined E-4s were painted Pullman green but there was no mention of the color of the stripes. Were they gold or yellow?
The strips were imitation Gold. Tom has color chip. LK Q: I am convinced that several years ago, someone mailed me a copy of your magazine which featured an article on Lon Chaney, who filmed the movie “Thunder” in Green Bay in 1929. It may have been the author himself. The film was based on the railroad and used a C&NW train in Green Bay and the surrounding area. Can you please advise if your magazine did in fact publish an article on Lon Chaney? Michael A: You are correct about everything. In fact, it was omitted from our paper index of articles. This makes it very difficult to find. Lon died soon after the movie was filmed, if my memory is correct. At Green Bay he worked in the cold and snow,along the C&NW, and contracted pneumonia, but he sometimes went out anyway to work, which proved to be very unhealthy.
