[PRR-talk] PRR Building Colors & Time Line [brown & buff Ohio 1945-1965]

[Ryan Hoover]

In central Ohio, PRR's wooden buildings were brown and buff in the postwar
period thru 1960s. Worthington tower was always that color from 1947 (when I
started noticing) to teardown (mid-'60's) although by that time, the
building was mostly gray weathered wood with some peeling and flaking
patches of faded buff and brown paint remnants.

Hi All
A few weeks ago, there was several questions of the building colors used on
the PRR and time lines.  I've never seen any answers.
Yes, there was overlap where the buff/brown and grey/grey and buff/green
etc.  But it would be useful if we had some idea of when the schemes were
introduced and supposedly dropped.  So if one models 1954 for example, which
building schemes would be present.  I also suppose there would be different
schemes for Lines East and Lines West, etc.  So, how about it, guys/gyze!
Help us all out here please.  Or point us in the right direction to find the
answers.
