Ted-- The BN merger took place in March 1970, and the new company started to repaint freight equipment in the new colors and logo soon thereafter. But the repainting took many years to accomplish, and I'm sure many of the gons you are interested in were retired or wrecked before repainting. The constituent roads (CB&Q, GN, NP and SP&S) started to paint or repaint some items of equipment in Cascade Green around 1968 on an experimental basis in anticipation of the merger. A rebuilt or repainted date on these gons of 4-70 or thereafter would be typical. --John
