Indeed, if you look closely at the fine print stenciled on sides of some MoW 
bunk & tool cars you will seethe Div/System gang # and assinged location.  In 
later yrs some would stray as Gangs were consolidated or new equipment 
added/old deleted.

System paint gang #1 stayed at Metropolis all the time to paint the Ohio River 
bridge. Even so they lived in bunk cars in case they were needed elsewhere. 
This practice continued until shortly after the BN merger.

To elaborate on the message below a bit, the Q also had System Paint gangs in 
addition to System B&B gangs and Division B&B gangs.  The gangs I was familiar 
with divided up the painting as follows: Division B&B gangs typically painted 
depots and wooden bridge signs on branch lines; System B&B gangs would do their 
own painting associated with minor steel repairs on bridges; System paint gangs 
would do painting of complete bridges or major steel replacements.  Someone 
told me in the late 60's that there were still 3 System paint gangs on Lines 
East and 1 on Lines West, and they tended to not stray off their normal 
territory even though they had system seniority.

Q B&B paint gangs painted depots and every other bridge and building. This was 
in the day before "out sourcing". The railroad did everything themselves i.e. 
in house. Even so far as when the depot toilet stopped up, you had to wait for 
the water sevice repairman to fix it.
And for a long time that meant you had to wait for him to get there on his 
motor car.
