Happy Valentine's Day from Mechanicville Yard (1982)

Here is a shot taken on February 14, 1982 in Mechanicville Yard. D&H GP39-2 #7615 sure looks worn out though the fresh paint by the side numbers makes a stark contrast. Also, it looks like they used blue paint instead of gray to paint ou the "Delaware & Hudson" lettering where it used to be located (behind the new 7615 numbers). 

I am especially drawn to the rusting/fading shield decal on the cab side. That would be an easy detail to replicate on a heavily weathered engine.
