Seaboard Air Line Passenger Paint Scheme

[Railfan2882]

Was wondering if anybody had any insight on this. I recently went to a train show and saw an O-Scale Passenger set of 5 cars and ABA E7 or E6 consist I think they were from MTH, but can't be positive in the Citrus Scheme of Yellow Brown, and Orange. I don't model O-Scale, I prefer HO. However, I have never seen passenger for Seaboard Airline in this scheme. The closest I could find was when the railroad bought some ex Illinois Central cars and had them re-lettered. Any Comments?

Yeah. The Citrus scheme was the original Seaboard passenger scheme.




And this is the later one. I'm not sure when the change was made:

Thanks for the post, but I was referring to the passenger cars themselves I am very familiar with the pictures of engines with these schemes in fact I have a few in my collection. So if anybody has any prototype information about the citrus scheme used on passenger cars that would be great.
