Nostalgia & History > CB&Q caboose paint scheme ... not one I ever saw but BB didDate: 01/26/20 06:26 CB&Q caboose paint scheme ... not one I ever saw but BB did Author: valmont Bruce Black took these pics ... pic 1 is @ Denver on 12/5/70 and pic 2 was at Edgemont, SD on 6/25/72. This is a 'curiosity post' ... just figured someone will be able to provide info as to whether there was a special reason for this paint (or just another one that was common and I just missed it!!) and how many there were.

A lot of passenger cars on the Central Peru had the same beneath windows.

And this Q waycar design is very similar to the standard Santa Fe waycar we all knew, and so many of us loved for decades...

The 13508 has what appears to be white step wells, and a white or silver stripe along the bottom of the carbody. Neither are present on the 13507. TC Date: 01/26/20 12:41 Re: CB&Q caboose paint scheme ... not one I ever saw but BB did Author: ntharalson The 13508 was the regular car on the Deadwood Job into 1974 and I shot it several times. I did not realize this was a non-standard paint scheme.
When I left the Black Hills in 1977, ex-GN car 10088 still in blue was doing the honors on the Deadwood Job, and the veteran ex-Q crew really liked it.
