<p class=MsoNormal>>In any era, all N&W passenger cars were painted the
same color.<br>
<br>
So they had always been in Tuscan red? For some odd reason I had been led
to believe that Pullman green had been used but if the red was what was used
that helps me on my freelanced line as well. I don't know... I guess it
was the heavyweight Pullman cars that probably led me to think that, since they
are listed as being Pullman green until the early 50s even though N&W got
their few in the late-40s. Now I won't feel so bad if I go ahead and use
the same red on my passenger equipment as well. Don't get me wrong, I
like Pullman green (I am also a huge Southern fan logging mileage on a number
of the Amtrak era trains, as well as the "Crescent" after Amtrak's
take over) but that wine... oh, its so mighty fine!!! I have been a fan
of it since Southern first borrowed the N&W's "Alta Vista" car
for a Kentucky Derby Special not long after moving to N.C. from
California. I was thrilled to be able to see the green E8s and all the
business cars but having the N&W 800 on the end made it all that much more
sweet!!!<br>

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