Does anyone knows what year TTX had the white reflective stripes started to appear on their Maxi well cars before being replaced by yellow stripes?

The white ones go back to the 1980's, the Federal Railroad Administration adopted the yellow ones around 2005. All part of grade-crossing safety and visibility. Trucks over a certain size/weight have the red and white candy stripes.

Mine doesn't move.......it's at the station!!!
