Darren: The process started in the late 1950s. As you will see in the
upcoming CB&Q In Color Vol #4, some of the mainline bridges were still in
mineral red until the mid 1960s. There is a photo in Vol #4 at Bristol in
August 1960 with the bridge still in mineral red. There is a great shot
at Buda in March 1963 with a mineral red bridge.
I hope this helps. Mike
