Only 1 EPB trainset was painted Big Sky Blue; i.e. most remained in the classic 
scheme.

Upon further review, you can see 4 Great Northern cars. Starting May 11th 1967 
the GN started painted passenger cars in the "Big Sky Blue" paint scheme. This 
did take a long time and I don't think all of the Empire Builder scheme cars 
got repainted. It's certainly possible those four cars (in a row) were still in 
the Empire Builder paint scheme on 6/1/68, but it does make one wonder. They 
eventually started painting some of these cars in the Cascade Green with the 
white, "Hockey Stick" stripe. (at least one consist of the five)

Steve has a point. Those domes were brand new in 1955. The paint looks pretty 
washed-out for 1958 - 60.

The interesting thing about this picture and the one following is the ratty 
condition of the Empire Builder's paint job, particularly on the lead dome. It 
does look like something out of the late 60's rather than the late 50's.

Based on some of his CRIP photos I'm 99.9% sure "Godfather-

rail's" dates are not always accurate.
