Quite possible, inasmuch as some (if not all) had been in IC colors for a time. The 1966 picture of Buchanan County on page 20 of my Color Guide looks like it could be the N&W color (or maybe not). However, the stripes are still PRR style, although by 1966 PRR itself was using a single stripe in place of the double stripe below the windows. But now the interesting question: who repainted it? Calumet or Roanoke? During that time period Roanoke would have painted the ends black.       Jim Nichols

Jim,

 

Is it possible that some or all of the N&W cars could have been repainted by the N&W into N&W Red at date later in their service life?  Per Rick Morrison some made it to Pevler Blue.

The RF&P, L&N, and N&W cars were all painted and striped to match the Pennsy cars; only the road name and car name (obviously) were unique.  Jim Nichols and I did an article on these cars several years ago in the Arrow.

Weren't both the N&W and RF&P cars painted in PRR Tuscan to match the PRR trains?  Seems one of the RF&P cars was at Broad St Station in Richmond in the early 70's when I was in college near-by.  If my memory serves me well I remember it being PRR Tuscan……… (or at least darker than N&W red).   Can anyone validate the PRR Tuscan on the N&W and RF&P cars?
