With respect to passenger car trucks, photographic evidence shows that gray was still specified until the end of 1958 for newly-constructed cars. On-delivery photos of storage mail cars 5711-5745 and baggage-express cars 5664-5678 (the last in November 1957) shows these cars with Harbor Mist Gray trucks. (See pp. 416-417 of Rank's & Kratville's Union Pacific Streamliners book.) Also, dome coaches 7011-7015 (delivered in November - December 1958) are shown in a builder's or on-delivery photo (p. 501 of the Streamliners book) with gray trucks. The first newly-delivered passenger cars with aluminum-painted trucks were cafe-lounges 5007-5016 (July 1959)(see p. 466 of the Streamliners book). --John
