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

In 1904 the Q standard was changed to Indian Red with bronze green trim on buildings. Remember a painter also had to grind the iron oxide pigments and then mix with the linseed or milk to make the pa
