Were the heavyweight passengers cars in 'Shadowline' paint, ever painted in the blue and white scheme? Thanks Jim
Jim, I am a bit late on this one. The only reference I have on this topic is the Aug.-Sept. 1991 All Aboard article that talks of how 14 heavyweight cars were painted "...in a red and gray Camouflage Shadow line livery." The end of the article does seem to imply that some, if not all, of the shadow line cars were repainted from blue and white heavyweights. Perhaps other Frisco Folk can clarify this?
A few of the red and silver shadow striped cars had been painted in the blue and gray scheme. These included baggage car SLSF 371, lounge cars SLSF 1401, 1402 and diner lounge "Kansas City". This information was from the former Frisco Museum's All Aboard newsletters mentioned in this thread. Tom
