The change was made beginning in 1949, with Lines East equipment generally 
painted before that of Lines West.

Hol,


 

Thanks for the eye witness account. I think Omaha orange
might be a good choice, since I think that was the MOW color for my era. When
did the MOW equipment change from mineral red to Omaha orange?

I saw them painted black, mineral
red and orange, so whatever you want will be prototypically correct.

What color were Q track bumpers and wheel stops in the
1950s? I’ve got ten bumpers ready to paint for the ends of my staging
yard tracks, and I’d like to be prototypically correct.
