I've seen a number of the "bent rail" bumpers, and they've always been painted orange. The paint was never fresh, rather old and chalky, giving them a very pale orange, almost peachy color. Some have been left unpainted so long that they looked mostly rusty with patches of paint coming through. The other 2 styles that I've seen often are I beam steel, usually painted yellow, for what ever reason, and then the smaller wheel stops, cast iron, painted orange or red. There are a few areas around here with dead end tracks. I'll see if I can get a few pictures of the bumper stops for you. Rey
