(so says the paint diagram I have from GE). "Platinum mist" is more gray in appearance and not nearly as shiny-reflective as the silver on the U34CH's.

In later years, when it weathered and chalked, the blue color became obvious. - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org ------------------------------
