I was wandering around Durango yesterday and took this picture of coach 311 and was wondering if this is the green that is being used for the San Juan cars that are to be painted on the D&S. It sure looks like a forest green and not a true Pullman green. A recent painting of a car that I have seen with a true Pullman green is the Sacramento Northern car 1005 at the Rio Vista trolley museum. The car lettering on the 311 is a vast improvement over the pseudo-Victorian stuff on the yellow cars. Just wondering---
