Description
In 1949, the DM&G's passenger electric fleet got a new look, ditching the old olive green for the railroad's new Mountain Gray scheme. Sleek and shiny, the new paint scheme was...essentially the old one, but refreshed for the forward-looking 1950s. The repainted V8s were crew favorites for decades, even holding out for a few years after Amtrak took over the DM&G's passenger services.

No. 649, shown here, was the first in the new gray. It last appears in the DM&G records for 1976, when it was stationed in Mesa as a helper.
