Subject: [STMFC] UP Freight Car Red

 

Sorry if this has been asked in the past, but it's an old issue that's been bothering me. Star Brands paint lists their STR-30 paint as S.P./U.P. freight car red. I've never considered the U.P. and S.P. colors the same:

UP 126281:

Assuming I'm right (boy, is that a big assumption!), what's the scoop? Is there a better match for UP freight car red in the Star Brand/Tru-Color paint lineup?
