Just to let people know - from what we can see, all
D&H freight cars were painted freight car red until about 1941, when they
switched to black for the open-top cars. It seems that cars with the circular
herald, either the "Century of Anthracite" or the 1950 "Bridge
Line" version, had switched to black.

I'm
trying to find out what color D&H painted their open top cars in the post
WW2 era, specifically hopper cars circa 1949 or so. Web searches yield
nothing. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Tony Wagner
