AFAIK the Ribbon Style lettering was used for the rebuilds of the Suburban 
Service coaches, so the first application is a little earlier than 1951... 
1950 or maybe even 1949??  I don't have any material that pinpoints exactly 
when the power cars were built and the coaches air-conditioned and 
vestibuled, but it would be in time for the introduction of the Bilevels.
Oh, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie...

Of course you have a source that pinpoints the conversions.  Look in your 
"Burlington Passenger Car Roster" by Glick on pages 95 - 97.  Look at the 7100 
series coaches and look at the "Date Rebuilt" column.  This is when the coaches 
came out with the new Suburban Service look.  The earliest one I see is from 
January 1949 and it looks like they did about two a month.  Also page 35 of 
"Burlington Route Across the Heartland" (what a great compilation of photos!!) 
has one of the cars wearing the new scheme in 10/49.
