Re: [CBQ] FW&D SW1200 Lettering Help Request

Tim,

While there is no good photo of a FW&D SW1200 from the cab end in the BRHS 
Flickr Collection, there are several such views of CB&Q SW1200s in Flickr. 
While the FW&D painted one NW2 in Chinese red against Chicago Mechanical Dept. 
instructions, I am all but certain that the FW&D was required to follow the 
same painting diagrams for the their locomotive fleet that the rest of the 
system did. That being the case, the SW1200s had “CB&Q” lettered adjacent to 
the headlight on the right side of the cab end sheet and the road number on the 
left. They also had the road number displayed on the headlight number boards 
which were illuminated.
