yes & no.  Years back both ends of the system used mineral red for MoW colors 
but Lines East converted to the familiar 'safety orange' several years before 
Lines West did & allegedly some MoW equipment on Lines West, especially in 
remote areas, remained in the original color well into the 50's.  I do not know 
though if they also used the dark green for derricks aka wreckers rather than 
the common black.

Bernie Corbin's home layout had Q MoW equipment with most in orange but some in 
the red; he was my first source of info on that color change.
