Re: [CBQ] Question on BREX Refers

["Doug Ramsay" <drramsay@comcast.net>]

I just recently painted and decaled 12 similar cars (Athearn blue box) from the same number group of 74730 to 74999 all built in 1937.
According to the Burlington Bulletin, the reefers built in 1937 were painted in the standard BRE / FGE / WFE scheme of  yellow with mineral red ends and roofs when built. The Kalmbach guide to industries series book Produce Traffic and Trains comments under the section on Burlington Refrigerator Express notes that the standard BRE paint scheme was yellow with mineral red ends and roof, but that the roofs were changed to silver after 1949.
