Galvanized roof paint failure- a Question
|
Nelson Moyer
My daughter considers anything from Burnt Sienna to Burnt Umber as a shade of brown. That includes most of the 1950s freight car colors, from oxide red to Erie brown.

George,
Well, picking nits, we like to think of PRR's freight car color as an oxide RED, not brown 😉
GN plywood boxcars - Omaha orange and green Georgia RR - silver

I fully agree with Nelson that most cars were brown back in 1953 (the year I model). Exceptions were the MKT, M&W and C&IM yellow boxcars and the reefers in orange and yellow and white. Those exceptions are all I can think of off the top of my head. Does
anyone else know of a all black or blue or whatever boxcar from the early 1950's?

C&NW had yellow and green in the 1950's. Maine Central had green ARA boxcars with a large yellow logo.

Exceptions that quickly come to mind, limited to boxcars (hoppers and gondolas often were painted black):
"State of Maine" -- B&M & NH boxcars
Black - Lehigh & New England boxcars.
