livery/paint color abbreviation
BAZ -- black with aluminum paint "zebra stripes" on side sill; striping was later modified to include the lower portion of the cab, the underframe
    between the trucks, and the body ends
Fully aware of the dispute between the stripes as white, silver, or aluminum, this compiler has chosen aluminum as the designation.
