When Guilford started acquiring locomotives in the mid-1980s it was cash strapped and quickly pressed them into service after performing basic ("economical") patch paint jobs. The first engine in this shot from June of 1986 is in the D&H's blue-dip scheme with yellow chevrons (which I actually like more than the lightning stripe scheme). Next is a basic blue dip B&M engine. After that, it appears the patched units with the Guilford "G" were likely N&W and Conrail surplus equipment. They aren't very pretty, but at least they aren't this.
