RE: [CBQ] Something Old 10

[HOL WAGNER <holpennywagner@msn.com>]

In the 1950s and 1960s the Q's "Pullman" green heavyweight passenger cars were 
generally referred to by employees as black cars, so it's possible this is what 
color the B&SW cars really were.  The Q was one of the last two big roads to 
paitn its passenger cars yellow; only the C&NW stuck with the color longer -- 
much longer, actually.

Page 311 in the above book describes an incident where a CB&Q train 
hit a cow. The article says the CB&Q train had cars painted yellow. 
and a Burlington and Southwestern train had cars painted a severe black.
