... What data supports the thought that this car is black?C&OHS data. In 1957 the C&O adopted a black scheme for boxcars having special loading devices or other special equipment. The car shown carries an experimental black with yellow lettering scheme that did not become widespread. A company photo of 19311 shows the same scheme. Otherwise, black cars had white lettering with a "For Porgress" herald and white sill stripe. Later some received yellow lettering in the Futura Demibold font. Bill McClure |
