Years ago RGS business car Rico was repainted. In preparation the rear platform end wall was stripped of it's "red"paint. Stripping revealed a layer of green paint with a hand painted "R 1918" in gold paint. This would go along with the Railroad Administrations mandate in the teens that all passenger equipment was to be painted green. Rico was then repainted red at a later date. The repaint lettering/numbers have been preserved along with a portion of green paint and are visible surrounded with a small metal frame just above the door on the observation end of Rico.
