[CBQ] XM-26 Question

["Greg" <gbaumgardner@smithfield.com>]

Attached is a photo of CB&Q XM-26 #16413 in Nutley, NJ in 1936 from the Al Hoffman collection.

 

To me, it looks as if the roof has been painted silver. Does anyone know anything about this practice, such as when it started, what cars received silver roofs, etc?

 

Also, I know these cars had extremely long service lives. Does anyone have photos of XM-25s or XM-26s in the late 50s or into the 60s?

 

Thanks in advance!
