Re: using blue flags

Yes, That is the truck/color scheme I mentioned. Interesting to note the Orange-Red cab matches the nose of the E-1, but the stake panels look like the redder Indian Red famous on the post-war diesels. And yes, the fenders look black to me, especially contrasted with the light blue herald on the door.

I It looks like a Dodge (power wagon?) painted ATSF orange with blue trim and probably there to provide support materials for the diesel fuel tank cars. Regards, Bob Witt ===================== I don't think Dodge started using the Power Wagon name for civilian vehicles until after the war. From the little of the horizontal grill I can see, looks like it could be an International, but really, it could be a lot of things. And, I don't think the fenders and frame are blue, but rather black. Black fenders on any color truck were pretty common back in those days. Dennis Storzek
