When I was about six years of age I got a book on American railroads. Inside the front cover were two two-four axle EMDs pulling a coal train, lettered for Chessie System, but in place of the black/orange/yellow, there was black/purple/blue, or something similar. Unfortunatly I lost the first page (and later the book) and cannot read the number on the second unit.
Which locos are these?
