I'm faced with some contradictions as to the livery used on the DSPP trackside buildings and structures, the preservation efforts made indicate tanks in both black and white , as well as some using the dark reddish color, same with depots. The Buena Vista depot has been painted a dark color, yet some others have ended up with the old light DSPP colors.
When the C&S took over , did they change the color schemes or had that occurred earlier as it was easier to just paint everything the one shade of dull red?
