I happened across a few images of GP7 1723 and noticed that it has a buzzsaw logo on the fireman side of the cab and a screaming eagle buzzsaw logo on the engineer side of the cab. This is the first locomotive that I’ve seen that had two different decals on the same locomotive. I know of the double eagles which are neat, but I haven’t seen any other locomotives decaled like 1723.

Nate,

That’s a very interesting series of photo’s. Both logo’s with the later frame stripes, but no evidence I can see of the later, or any nose nose chevrons. Makes you really wonder what happened during the last trip to the paint shop????

Great details on the roof shot and the one of the fireman’s side. Thanks for posting.

Perhaps they were power short and needed 1723 on the road. It is a little more involved and time intensive to apply these decals than on one of our scale models.

I think 1872 had the end chevrons at too flat of an angle in its 1962 version, ran for a period after 1974 with the wide sill stripes and screaming eagle medallions and no end chevrons only to get the wide version at the same wrong angle as before.
