No, I'm not about to start a discussion on the merits of New Mexico's official question, but on passenger car colors.
There has been a lot of discussion here on that subject as pertains to authenticity. I'm laying myself wide open here, but isn't it true that in the very early days of the D&RG that passenger equipment was painted maroon? I either read this somewhere, or was told by a supposedly knowledgeable person. If this be historically true, then the present coach color begins to approach maroon.
Fire away.
