Any KCS gurus?
Author: SD45X

SW 1500s had hand grabs on the walkways when painted white, and were converted to handrails after getting the grey, correct?

Actually, I have seen photos of SW1500's in the white scheme with handrails, but I have never seen a gray SW1500 with hand grabs. Based on this, my guess is the conversion from hand grabs to handrails occurred around 1988-1990, about the same time the grey scheme was being introduced.
