Added this to the file, also sent you an email
I don't even know if this is the right place for these.
I found an old photo album I had forgotten about from my youth. Pictures were printed on textured stock, so the photos looked dimply.
1976 - San Jose, CA - Bascom Ave SP yard....and the Freedom Train.
The entire engine facility (roundhouse, turntable, sanders, water, etc) are long gone.
UPDATE: I did a little online search and (phase III) GP9E 3187 was used for commuter train service (CalTrain) out of San Jose.

This is the 6th Top Hat I have weathered this year! I have done 3 others for this owner and I am going off a picture he took that unfortunately he will not let me show!!!
Anyway on the conductor side there is a strange square that I’m not getting right but I sent this picture to him
Those lines that look like bare spots going downward will be rust streaks! The fade matches the picture the truck frames will have a couple sprays of 2 more colors. The vents and grills are starting to rust and are painted burnt umber #71.040 from Vallejo Air
The NS and stripe on this locomotive in 2010 had some chipping starting and that is next up. The file and air tanks have what looks like a reddish earth tone to them but I asked the client to confirm that as there is no reddish color on the truck frames just various browns, the rust I have applied will be blended by a earth tone color not quite brown nor black, so I will blend those and see what I get
