Omaha orange was adopted and the color for most company service equipment in 1948-49; prior to that time the same mineral red used on freight equipment was also used for company service equipment, with the same white lettering. Hol To: CBQ@yahoogroups.com From: krmiddle@charter.net Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2014 11:40:16 -0500 Subject: [CBQ] CB&Q Maintenance Equipment Colors I've recently been reading a copy of John Strauss's Burlington Route Passenger Trains - Volume One, and noticed an interesting photo on page 135 of the book. The photo shows Train No. 4 with Hudson 3004 as the primary subject, but in the background are a number of CB&Q maintenance cars in a dark paint with white (or at least light) lettering. By the time I could drive and really start looking at Burlington equipment (the 1960s), Burlngton maintenance equipment (at least the house cars and ex-passenger cars) was orange with black lettering. Does anyone know when they switched to orange, and what the colors were before that? Thanks for any help you can provide. Ken Middleton Portage, MI krmiddle@charter.net |
