Re: [CBQ] Early CB&Q engine lettering

["homanfamily" <homanfamily@fuse.net>]

Jonathan,
    According to Hol Wagner's book "The Colorado Road"  C&S, which had had 
been part of the Q since 1908, from 1902 to May 06, the lettering was white. 
>From May 06 to Sep 28, passenger was Aluminum Leaf and freight was Aluminum 
paint.  Its Gold leaf and Yellow paint after that.
    FW&D was white before May 06, then Aluminum to Sep 28 then gold/yellow. 
I think it is a safe bet that this was a system wide paint scheme.
