Nelson,

I'm sure that there is someone who knows for sure what was the "first" application, but here is what I know.  The converted Troop kitchens in 1947-48 did not initially have the new lettering.  The modernized suburban coaches in 1949 did have the new lettering. As far as I know the suburban cars that were painted in different paints schemes to be voted on by the commuters were the first to have the ribbon font applied. The new font really took off in the early 50's with repainting and conversions.

Rich G.

When was the ribbon font (san serif) first applied to CB&Q passenger cars as a replacement for Railroad Roman (serif)?
