Picture: top of passenger equipment & ends

[NW Mailing List]

Hello – Did the N&W use these red engines in freight service?  When did the red scheme appear and how long did it last?

Hi Society,

1) I've been looking in the archive for some good color photo references of passenger equipment in the steam era, especially the roof.

I'm weathering some PG (stand ins) after I number them.

Does anyone know some good ones?

2) I see the ends are sometimes painted black, and sometimes so dirty they are black. Does anyone know the story on when the painting started and how often?

Thanks!
David Baker
