I just recently saw a very short video clip of a New York Central E unit in a green paint scheme. Was this an experimental scheme and how many were painted like this?
Thank you for any help.

Green E units:
4053 E8A
4083 E8A
4107 E7B
There was a rash of other experimental schemes on E units at the same time
At one time the NYC even painted a couple of Pullmans two-tone green before settling on the two-tone gray scheme
Then there were the two box cars painted in the experimental light blue scheme before going to the Century green box car scheme

NYC No. 4083 has been restored to its experimental green scheme by URHS:
