[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by orsonroy That photo's from a late 1960s fantrip, and doesn't represent the vast majority of transportation corps steam. Mostly, it's plain black with white lettering, and no pinstriping or safety paint any where on the engine. [/quote] I'm not so sure. The autos and uniforms say late '50s to very early '60s to me. And who says this is a fan trip photo? I've seen plenty of B&W photos, with captions dated in the mid- to late-'50s, that show US Army steam locos with highlighted safety appliances and running board or footboard edges, but the poster's question is what were the colors used? Have any dated, color photos to prove your claim?
