Jerry, I'l have to find the photo to be certain, and that will take some searching. The paint chips will be even harder to find. The roundhouse foreman at Alamosa gave Bob Richardson once a can with an inch or so of half dried up paint in the bottom he said was boiler jacket green. He told Bob when he had ordered more green from Burnham, about 1941, he was told it was no longer in stock and no longer to be used. Unfortunately, one of the volunteers at the Colorado Railroad Museum later threw out the can of boiler jacket green without consulting Bob.
