I'm no expert and again suggest joining the EJ&E list or looking deeper at http://www.ejearchive.com/

At the risk of being somewhat off topic, in the meantime, what I can get from Diesel Era is that until the early 1960s, most of the locos were black. This agrees with the fact that early EJ&E cars were also black as far as I can tell. The exceptions are the orders for DT-6-6-2000 diesels starting in 1946 and those were in orange with black (or dark brown?) letters and trim. In 1957, three SD9s were ordered in orange and green with a yellow separation stripe. The 1960s saw end-cab locos repainted "flue-brown" and the rest repainted in solid orange similar to the DT-6-6-2000s. Those schemes or slight variations thereof persisted into the 1990s. So, my guess is that you may be safe with your flat car being orange and green in the 1950s, but experts will tell you which exact years apply. AME
