Re: [CBQ] C&S car #254

John,

I don't know when the museum changed it. 

In 1925 the Burlington adopted a new paint scheme with the herald on the tenders and numbers on the cab. The C&S adapted the same lettering with Burlington on the letterboard and C&S on the cab and over the car number. This did not apply to the narrow gauge which kept the C&S to the end.

I assume the museum made the change to reflect a more local feel.

The C&S RPO/Baggage car at Golden is lettered Colorado & Southern across the letterboard, but other photos show it lettered Burlington.  When did they change from one to the other? John
