I like your assessment Matt!
I believe the KP&W management believes that it is important for their equipment (especially locos and cabooses) to look good for business's sake. Decrepit equipment makes a poor impression and doesn't inspire confidence. Worth the investment.

Ralph. You have a long way to go to reach the "corporate mentality".
It's not "laziness", it was simply.......mask the areas that were to remain orange.....shoot black.....Done !!!
That!, sir, is "economical", not
" lazy ".

Yeah, that's the ticket! Economics!
Thanks Pete!

To be fair, not ALL patches have to look decrepid. Some are done well-
