Rupert - Perhaps, the idea that the Q had some box cars painted black in the early 1900s came from photographs taken at the time that showed some cars painted a very "dark"color. I've attached an image of such a box car 101417 built in 1907 by the Standard Steel Car Company of Butler, PA. I don't think this particular car is painted back, but could be a dark mineral red. Just an idea.... Granted, it's all but impossible to judge true paint colors from a black and white photograph. Best Regards - Louis

I’ve received a query regarding the colour of CB&Q box cars in the early 1900’s, as to whether they were painted anything other than mineral red. Apparently there was a reference “somewhere” to black box cars although I have no recollection of that being discussed on the List.

The only suggestion that comes to mind would be the hearse cars 10000-10005, where black might have been considered a more appropriate colour.  Any suggestions?
