The T&P was controlled by the Gould interests and the MoP for almost all of its history. Freight and passenger F and E units were the same as MoP but with the T&P heralds, numbering and lettered Texas and Pacific. Diesel switchers were swamp holly orange and black, with some geeps (pax mainly, but not all) painted blue/grey MoP. The steam loco boilers were painted a color called "light Russian Iron", which was a grayish green with some olive in it. The Southwest RR Hist Society had some at one time and they painted the "Lonesome Mohawk" (the ex-NYC loco that T&P reworked to replace the 648 that was vandalized at Dallas's Fair Park in the early 1950's) with it. You might check with them and maybe they can send you a paint chip you can match. Later everything got to be Jenks Bule with that ridiculous perversion of the buzzsaw that was lettered "Texas Pacific Lines".
