When two RS3's returned from long term lease on the Providenvce & Worcester, the D&H just applied shields and left them in the 'popsicle' scheme.
Few engines look as good from the rear or the front as the Alco RS3. The D&H scheme looked great on these Alcos.
For a short while in 1977 the D&H leased a few ex-Long Island Hi-Nose C420's like 202. They didn't last long on the D&H.
