49, 57 and 77 for sure were blue. Mike Condren shot all of those in Little Rock, mid-1962 to early 1963. It would be a useful process to compile a list of which PA’s received Jenks blue and which ones went to scrap still in Eagle colors. I believe a Jenks PA pulled the last Pacific commuter run.

Did the PA’s ever go into freight service when displaced by the non-EMD purge, or did they just got straight to the deadlines at Precision National?

I saw a sales list of stuff being sold off the MoP PAs that were at Precision National, and the price for an Eagle was in the range of $20. Shipping was considerably more, and I was unable to persuade my parents to purchase one, my finances in the 8th grade not being sufficient to cover the cost. Surely others purchased one, but I have never seen a PA Eagle for sale (and very few of the EMD version).
