D&H #2304 shows the final paint scheme before the Guilford takeover. This locomotive is shown at Mechanicville, NY in October 1982. Photo taken from a Bill Mischler 35mm slide. Used by permission.
One of the D&H contributions to the American Bicentennial was the unit #1776, shown here on the ready track at Rouses Point, NY. The U23B was delivered as #2312 and later renumbered to 1776 for the bicentennial. It was later renumbered back to its original number. 
Know by railfans as the 'Grey Ghost', at a time when the predominant color in the D&H was blue, someone decided to use the surplus grey paint at Colonie, and #2311 is the result. At Oneonta, NY in October 1981. Reproduced from a Bill Mischler slide ©copyright. Used by permission.

Return to the Diesel Roster or Top of this Page2312 was repainted 1776 for the Bicentenary and named E.W. McCrea.
2311 was painted in an all grey scheme (the only D&H loco to be so painted) with a blue lightning stipe and known by railfans as the "'Grey Ghost".
All locos went to Guilford for the Maine Central - for some time they retained their D&H paint scheme, but with MEC logos.
