Paint & Lettering: As delivered in 1947, cars were painted NH’s freight car brown and came with their 7’ Superior doors painted black. Repainted during the

1955 Evans DF conversion, the cars were painted freight car brown with a red oxide hue including doors. The DF triangle was added in the upper right corner

to the left of the door to inducate the new service.
