Early N&W Power and Rolling Stock

[NW Mailing List]

 What is "Russian Iron"?  Obviously a term for some sort of decoration but it is new to me.
Please fill us in.

    Thanks for the leads on the books. 


    Browsing through the archives, I wonder how were the PA Class coaches painted? Was Tuscan Red in use that early? Was the N&W lettering imitation gold?


    Also, curious as to early power's paint schemes. Seems most late 19th century steam power was gaudy in nature, gold leafing, Russian Iron, etc. I know some of these engines I linked weren't directly N&W to begin with, but I wonder if they were as ornate as their western counterparts say in California and Nevada?
