Vin Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Hi Dave, This loco had petroleum 'F's' on both sides in August 1993 but by Feb/march 1994 it had one side with petroleum logos and the other in aggregates (as in the photo). If you look at the photo the repeater has had the yellow waves removed leaving a blue block. This is quite late as by April 1994 the sectors no longer existed they where the pre privatization companies which evolved into Mainline, Loadhaul and Transrail. I think it ran around with a petroleum on one side and aggregates on the other before getting mainline. I know this isn't a definitive answer but does put a timeline to the livery.
