[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CFournier</i> <br /><br />What colours where the trackside structures and depots of the Western Pacific?

This question pertains to the Mission style stations, but if you can ask questions also. <br />http://www.wprrhs.org/wpqanda.html <br /> <br />Question. 15-8 <br />What color were WP Mission style stations? Most of the ones still standing have been painted several times. Also, what was the color of the window trim? <br /> <br />Answer. 15-8.1 <br />While I realize that none of this is definitive, the WP depot in Stockton, (1025 East Main Street) retains what appears to be its original service colors. (At the very least, it doesn't appear to have been painted since the Carter administration.) <br />As seen from the street today, it has well-worn white paint with black trim, and red terra-cotta tiles embelishing the edges of its roof line. Doors leading into the passenger and express sections are also painted black. (Submitted by Steve Cope) <br /> <br />
