Clarence Russell worked the Third Division (Gunnison to Floresta, the Baldwin - Pitkin turn, Lake City and Ouray branches) 1914 -36 before being promoted to the SG at Grand Junction.
He had a good memory but never recalled seeing green and red together during his time on the NG. Sometimes a green boiler, sometimes a red roof. He also saw "gray" roofs which were unpainted canvas.
