I seem to remember some of passenger cars had blank black letter boards on opening day in 1981.

473 was the last Rio Grande lettered narrow gauge steam locomotive that was lettered by the Rio Grande to run on Rio Grande owned narrow gauge track (in the fall of 1980). As well as the last Rio Grande lettered locomotive that was lettered by the Rio Grande to operate (before it got re-lettered in May, 1981).
