In John Fischer's oral history (as told to Al Holck, Burlington Bulletin No. 31, p. 38), the retired engine painter talks about painting the smoke/fireboxes of Q steamers by simply mixing up graphite

I've wondered about the use of idler flats on these big coaling chutes. When I was a kid, I saw long strings of idlers used by switchers loading the C&O car ferries on Lake Michigan. That's quite a g

The photo Tim posted shows a freshly-painted structure. I assume this was a mineral red or red oxide color. My question: was this the same "red" as CB&Q depots were painted? And was it the same color

Thank you, Bill. That is clarifying. I see there's a picture of the Eola wooden coaling tower on p. 41 of Mike Spoor's CB&Q in Color, V. 1; the tower is pretty weathered, but it appears to be/have be

Are you saying that paint was mixed by crews at the shop or roundhouse level? Did some central headquarters just ship out the pigments? Was "Indian Red" simply Iron Oxide, or were other pigments comb
