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 ".
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
