I'm curious as to when the DRGW went from red to gray. I was surprised to see a color slide of it in red in DRGW days, so presumably the switch was in the 1940's or perhaps early 50's. It was gray during most of its time on the C&TS, painted red with C&TS marks around 1991, back to gray but with C&TS marks around 1996 or 7, and now (2019-2020) back to red and probably C&TS marks. As I mentioned above I like the red and was pleased to see a color slide of it during its red D&RGW days.
I suppose a sub plot would be when did the DRGW go from the large OY on the tender to the small D&RGW and OY lettering.
