> As most of you know by now, my name is Ayo Rivers and I am on the AmeriCorps

caboose in Brownville NE. I need to find the color number (hue, tint, etc.) of
the caboose located in
Brownville Nebraska. The caboose's information is as follows:
>
> In the front at the top in the center reads: BN 10331
>
> On the side near the back reads:
> Retired
> BN-CB

> This particular caboose was originally CB&Q 13560, the 1st of the NE12a's
> built. Built August 1960 at the
Havelock shops in Havelock, NE. My role is to find the color number (hue, tint,
etc.) of this caboose, and
what company manufactured the paint that was supplied for this caboose. And
what numbers and lettering was
on this caboose when it was built? Also where the numbers and letters were
placed.
