This might be information that could be useful to others.  I contacted the CBQ and BRHS lists in July and August regarding speeders used on the Burlington.  After not receiving any responses, I contacted my friend Rupert Gamlen who is very knowledgeable about everything CBQ.  He suggested that I contact NARCOA (North American Railcar Operators Association).  I had a nice conversation with the Area 6 Representative (IL, MN, WI).  He thought that originally in the 1940's and 1950's the speeders were painted safety orange.  Later, they were painted yellow.  If anyone can verify this or has early color photos, I would appreciate it.  Hope this helps other BRHS members.

I have been looking through the BRHS web page and my books to find information on Burlington speeders (color, manufacturers, photos).  Any help in directing me to the right source would be most appreciated.  Thank you.
