The restored Wahoo NE depot has a reconstruction of an Adams Express 
Company sign with red letters on a white background.

But uniformly, on vintage B/W depot pictures, where an Adams Express 
sign is visible, it is light (white, I assume) letters on a dark 
background.  And tin signs that show up on auction sites are white 
letters on either a blue or green background.

Does anyone know what the Adams Express depot sign colors actually 
were on CB&Q depots?

I have an email into the Saunders County Historical Society asking 
about this, but have not yet received a reply.

For my paper study models of Prague, Wahoo and Schuyler depots, I'm 
currently going with white letters on a blue background.

Thanks,

Randy
