Seaboard Air Line Passenger Paint Scheme

[Railfan2882]

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.

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:
