"Effective on receipt of these instructions, we will discontinue the use of brilliant red on caboose cars and paint such cars the same as other freight equipment."

They would never paint over a perfectly good paint job just to please Denver.

I see nothing in the instructions that says, "Immediately repaint all caboose cars the same as other freight equipment." Doing so would probably have displeased Denver much more than using up out of favor but usable paint.
