From the inception of the Streamliner era UP has used yellow as their basic color for psgr equipment. Prior tp WWII the roof, underbody & trucks were brown but just before WWII they changed from brown to grey. After WWII the trucks color was changed to silver. Does anybody out there have a month and year date for the chamnge from grey trucks to silver.
