Thread-topic: [CBQ] Red cab roofs


Jonathan:


The Q was painting them red by the time the number on cab/herald on tender scheme was adopted in 1925, and the C&S and FW&D had followed suit by 1928 when they adopted the parent's scheme.  The color of the red lead was essentially the same as that of the mineral red paint used on freight cars.

When did the CB&Q, C&S and FW&D start painting the cab roofs of their steam engines with red lead? Was this the standard for all engines?

Apologies if this has been asked and answered, but a quick search of the archives didn't turn it up.
