Nelson,

 

Here’s a glimpse of the mineral red elevator behind the depot in 1955. While it doesn’y impact you model,the second isfrom April of ’57 showing it was a greyish, almost a flat aluminum color, not white.

That must be why there is so much white paint in the three Q facilities books from Morning Sun. Most of those pictures were taken after 1960, and I found all the white paint disappointing because I model 1953.

 

That must also the reason that color pictures of the Burlington export elevator show mostly white paint. The last mineral red color photo I have was from 1954, and I know of only one or two other color pictures before it was paint white.
