A while back there was some discussion about Bill Glick's choice of color for 
the early waycar model. 

A reference on the Passenger Car List brought me to a Google Books 1892 
Official Railway List for 1892.

I've sampled the color and it comes out to R233  G136  B005 in the RGB system.  
It comes very close (to my eye) to Badger 16-158 CP Action Yellow, at least 
comparing a jpg of the Badger Color Chart to the scanned page.

I've posted details of the color chart and the CB&Q color in the photos section 
under CB&Q Carbody Color and 1890's Color Chips.
