A follow up to my diatribe on weathered diesels in the early 1960s...

 

Been browsing some of my diesel-oriented books... looks like there MIGHT have been examples of some pretty nasty engines as early as the late 1950s, depending on locomotive make and the railroad.  For example, some of the Mop Alco FA's, RS3's, RS-11's, and Baldwin AS16's, looked pretty grungy by the early 60s. Haven't really seen the same nastiness in Mop's EMD models, though. (At the Mop, by the late 60s the writing was on the wall for some of the locomotives of the minority builders.)
