Nice to see its going to be restored. I hope they paint it Brunswick Green with five stripes. Last time I saw it (in 2012) it didn't look too sweet.

I agree, Lehigh, 5 stripe, Brunswick green.
Yeah ....5 stripe, Green, and use the gold leaf- wide scheme. Love to see her run again, but it would take Amtrak's yearly budget to pull it off !
Personally, I would rather see "Rivets" 4800 inside the building than 4935. Sure, 4935 may hold the honor of the last G to operate, but 4800 was the first G ever built, was the only G to be painted in a bicentennial scheme, and much more.
glad she's getting some attention. hate to see anything out in the elements. wish the $$ was there to have everything inside.maybe they could take lessons from the Air Force Museum..they've built their last two buildings thru fundraisers.
Even a pole barn type of coverage would be better than open elements.
