[RITSlist] Red Color of Three Rock Island Locos

[Kathie and Denis Long]

Jim Neubauer,

Everybody is probably very tired of this subject.  Thanks for your patience,
Jim.

I think I have reached a decision.

 

Since it appears to very close to crimson, were do you place this color in
relation to other railroad reds? 

 

ATSF-too orange      SP-close    or-????

 

Also, am I correct that all three tenders were rectangular?

Thanks again.  This is my last question.

Denis

All, out of Chicago, the red engines protected the schedules of  No. 3 and
No. 7, and according to my article in Remember The Rock, Fall 2005 issue,
Vol.2,No.3, the engines were painted specially for the Delegates' Train to
the 1945 signing of the United Nations Charter, held in San Francisco.

The color red was nearly cerise but was closest to crimson, a bright red
with a hint of orange to it.  See page 8 and 9 and decide for yourself.
There is a picture of the 4033 in the article.  It shows a locomotive with a
banner on it that reads "This locomotive is one of 10 to be used on the Rock
Island's Golden State Limited to California," and shows a boiler much
lighter in tone than the black locomotive that it's a part of. Too bad
Kodachrome was not around in 1924!.
