Re: [CBQ] Hand cars/push cars

["John D. Mitchell, Jr." <cbqrr47@yahoo.com>]

They were first painted mineral red and push cars continued to be painted 
mineral red. After about 1950, motor cars and a few push cars were painted 
Omaha orange. Most of the "push car class" of M of W equipment like bridge 
derricks, weed mowers, trailers (for carrying large gangs) and so on was 
painted orange as well. Of course, over the years the orange faded to a more 
yellow color.
