Re: WESTINGHOUSE EAST PITTSBURGH PHOTOS

Hello All,

Thought you Westinghouse fans might enjoy these 3 photo copies that I purchased last weekend.(The background story is posted on the Switcher Saturday, 5/08/15 forum). If anyone can provide more information on the colors of the paint scheme on the switcher, please chime in!! The top of the hood looks to be a bit darker in color, so I'm thinking maybe that was red with the white middle along the sides of the body and Westinghouse blue on the lower part of the body along with the cab. Just guessing. Enjoy the photos.

Nick

Sorry, I don't know the colors on that engine. My guess might be red, white, and blue since it is the Spirit of 76. However, I live close to that area and have been thru the area many many many times. Brings back some memories. Thanks for posting.

My father worked for Westinghouse and was A hook on and wound coils for the generators at the East Pittsburgh plant. In 76 Westinghouse had an open house witch I was at as A child and I remember the switcher engine being red, white and blue for the celebration. The Westinghouse blue color is called Periwinkle Blue. The photos are taken across the Turtle Creek creek as seen in the second picture on the back side of the East Pittsburgh plant. Choo Choo Kenny
