Good job Jim,

Very thorough.

One small correction. The seats were not green, it's the way the light hits them. The Seats in the 025/20 were done in Black Pantesote (like a heavy duty oilcloth/naugahyde combo). Notice that they are set up in a 2-1 configuration.

The interior, before any "restoration" was Oak panels with red cherry (or Mahogany) accents. the color below the interior belt rail was painted in a boxcar red color. I don't know if this was done during the MOW days or not. The paint below the belt rail was actually varnished.

Also the seat ends, during the MOW days were painted boxcar red over the varnished white oak.

The baggage end was painted a light yellow, kind of a yellowish beige or Buff color.

I only remember because it was "Home" for me during one of the seasons up in Central City. We had a bed set up in the baggage end.
