Again, big thanks to Owen the Train Man for giving me this idea. Check his channel out if you haven’t already.

Not Much On Colors Have Changed On Railroading, But You Are Certain To Find Some Of The Old Paint Schemes Of Railroads Long Ago At Plenty Of Railroad Museums Keeping The Historic Relics Alive And Standing Well.
