Hello All!
I am seeking help and hoping there are some West Point Route - Georgia Railroad buffs here.
My question:
Does anyone know what color Blue the locos were painted? A combination is also fine for example: Tru-color 3 parts Dark Blue, 1 part black, and 1 part whatever.

TAG 80 and CCKY 1104 leads the C&C turn north at Rock Springs, Georgia to Chattanooga, TN where they will set out cars at Chickamauga and finally at Chattanooga for interchange with Norfolk Southern.
TAG 80 is a GP38-2 and 1104 is a ex IC GP9 rebuilt by their Paducah shops into a GP11.
The Southern Railway 630 leads one of the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museums Summerville Steam Special trips through Rock Spring, GA south on its way from Chattanooga down to Summerville, GA.
NS Northbound Empty Coal Train 706 (Plant Wansley, GA. to Andover, VA.) stoped at Bremen, GA awaiting a Signal to head on North with the NYC Heritage SD70ACe in charge
..........? Why, that'd be this NS 334 heading East on the NS (Central of Georgia) P-Line while negotiating the big curve coming into Alexander City, AL. This train will be in Columbus, GA in about 2.5 hours after meeting a Westbound in Gold Ridge, AL down the road just before Opelika, AL.

This NS train is climbing the hill out of Opelika, AL on the NS P-Line into the historic community of Stonewall, AL. This area is know for the Stonewall Plantation, where there literally is a stone wall still beside the road that runs through the community.
