Check the front cover of BB 50 on the SD's.  It was repainted Chinese red at Lincoln in 1968 and was one of perhaps a dozen SD9s to get the full height (width?) of the side sill painted white.

If it was still in the blackbird scheme in 1968, there's a good chance it never wore Chinese red:

Bryan,

If there is a vote on the paint scheme, I vote for blackbird! By the way, while I am sure you know, you didn’t mention that BNSF 1727 was originally Q 352. I suspect there may be a chance that it operated through Brookfield, MO.

BNSF 1727 is an ex-Q SD9. The plan for it is to go to a Q scheme, but last I knew, they hadn't decided black or red yet.
