Why is it assumed that all ex-locomotive tender water cars were painted black because the ex-Uintah water cars were painted black? Look at the color picture in Dorman's "Rocky Mountain Railroads, Volume II", page 7, of water car W494 (ex-tender from #173). This car is red, not black. Other B&W pics of W489 in my collection also appears red. Plus W484.
