Re: [CBQ] Dining Car No. 181

Bryan and Hol --

While I've never located a roster photo of DA-6 181, I have for DA-6's Nos. 184 and 187 (the latter with "Dining Car" lettering immediately below the belt rail) and as of January 1961 both were painted aluminum.

As for the 181, it never received aluminum paint but did receive ribbon lettering (including "Dining Car"), confirmed by a published photo (Caboose; Brian Solomon and John Gruber; MBI Publishing, 2001; p. 148) of an August 1964 fantrip cross-referenced with the train's consist.

Well, that's a kick in the pants. I hate to ruin the paint job on this car, but I may have to eventually.

No Q DA-6s were ever painted aluminum; the only CB&Q diners ever receiving aluminum paint were 171 and 176 for Chicago-Twin Cities service.  Most DA-6s never even got ribbon lettering In place of their RR Roman.
