We are restoring it and everything points to red. Some people say blue but I can,t find any info to confirm that. I can find pictures from 1973 of it being red. If it started blue can you tell me the date it painted red. </div><div><br></div></div><div dir="ltr">Any help will be greatly appreciated.<div>Thanks, Art Brust</div><div>North West Ohio Railroad Preservation</div></div>
