Thanks for the help. All of my photos have reweigh dates that do not reflect when the cars were actually painted. I do recall that the boxcar red billboard scheme you mention as well as a blue one with white lettering are well beyond our 1960 limit. The ACY was an interesting road. They leased a lot of used equipment which seemed to turn over about every 5 years. Since they did little if any painting of freight cars themselves, the constant turnover of rolling stock was what kept the paint schemes up to date. Thanks again, Mont Switzer

The only photo I have of a newly painted yellow car is dated 1963. ACY also had a "box car red" version of the billboard scheme but I don't know the exact dates for that either. Yahoo! Groups Links
