You are correct.? It is a late '60's nearly brown paint color.? The PRR freight car color shifted dramatically towards brown after the adoption of synthetic pigments and continued to move towards brown until the end. Rich Orr

Sent: Thu, Jun 25, 2009 2:38 pm Subject: [STMFC] Color of the PRR X31 Boxcar at Cajon Pass Does any one wish to comments about the color of the PRR X31 boxcar also captured in this sequence of photos from Cajon Pass. http://www.geocities.com/jim_lancaster.geo/cp/cajon_64.html <http://www.geocities.com/jim_lancaster.geo/cp/cajon_64.html> It is less like the bright oxide red that some freight car people describe. The colors do not appear to be shifted in these reproductions. Bob Witt Indianapolis, Indiana ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links |
