Galvanized roof paint failure- a Question
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?

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.

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

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.
