N&W maroon passenger cars in 1949

[NW Modeling List]

My freelanced RR is set in 1949 and hopefully will include some passenger
cars from the N&W as run-through cars.  What I am needing to know is how
wide spread would the application of the maroon be during the late-40s to
older, heavyweight cars.  Would head-end cars be carrying this paint?  And
which "version" of the paint would they have, the red or the metallic?

Any help would be appreciated!!!

I hate getting old... I have learned a lot of things, I just can't remember
much of it anymore.
