D&RGW 223

Everyone,

I am involved with the restoration of D&RGW 223, one of three surviving C-16's. You may have seen some posts on this locomotive elsewhere on this forum.

One question- What kind of classification flags did the Rio Grande use? I am looking for dimensions, type of pole (if there was even a standard design), close-up pictures or drawings, etc.

The restoration of the 223 is progressing rapidly, and they have pretty much everything except money, manpower and flags.
