Were there any Green Frisco boxcars?

Thanks,

Jim

 

The Frisco had several Pullman Green express boxcars for use in steam era passenger trains.

 

Pensive

Thanks - Do you know what type they were (40')? I see that Microscale has decal set that they claim works with the Frisco green boxcar.

Thanks,

Jim

Microscale got it wrong

If you are refering to Microscale set 87-149 where it states: "2. Green with either black or white lettering, (#13018, #15537).", I believe that this is erroneous information. Series 13000-13299 boxcars were originally painted gray and series 15500-15574 boxcars were painted blue. Refer to Nicholas John Molo's "Frisco/Katy Color Guide to Freight Equipment" which has color photographs of examples from each of these series.
