Were the DT&I 7000 series gons painted freight car red during their entire life, or were they painted black during some period. I am mainly interested in 1951. I knew they were FCR in the late 1950's and into the 60's, but in looking at photos I thought that perhaps they were black during a period in the 1940's leading into the 1950's.
Chet, The only paint specs I have located for DT&I gondola cars were for series 9100-9299, built 7-52, AC&F lot no. 3607. Entire car painted black with white stencils. Regards, Ed Hawkins
