N&W Passenger Cars in Armour Yellow Paint

[NW Mailing List]

Following-up on my original post and query, below is a list of Wabash-lettered cars that were painted Armour Yellow, according to UtahRails.NET:

Wabash Coach #1427 (later, N&W #1834)Wabash Coach #1428 (later, N&W #1835)Wabash Coach #1430 (later, N&W #1837)Wabash Coach #1431 (later, N&W #1838)
"Western Lake" 4-12 Sleeper"Western Scene" 4-12 Sleeper"Western Sunset" 4-12 Sleeper"Western View" 4-12 Sleeper

But I have no photographic evidence that these cars were lettered for N&W and painted Armour Yellow after the 1964 merger.  If anybody has hard evidence to contrary, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Russ,
With all due respect to Richard Shell, I have not seen a photo of 1612 in yellow; I have several photos/slides of 1612 with the blue letter board and N&W stenciling; here is one from the archives of 1612:

Here is the 1613 in Armour Yellow:

And here is the 1836:

I could not locate any other photos of former Wabash diners, sleepers or coaches in the Armour Yellow scheme with N&W stenciling.
I would love to see any additional photographs/slides of former Wabash passenger equipment in the Armour Yellow scheme with N&W stenciling.

   Here is a question which perhaps only Mr. Gordon Hamilton can answer...   
   Who, in the N&W's pecking order, had the final call on names applied to Pullmans?  At what level did a naming suggestion originate, and how far up the chain-of-grandeur did the suggestion have to progress before it was considered blessed for implementation?       -- abram burnett   Abie's Kosher Turnips, LLC   Walton Wye, Va,        -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-    "He who sells what isn't his'n,            Must buy it back or go to pris'n."       -- "Deacon" Daniel Drew (1797-1887) discussing Short-Selling.
