Chris your absolutely correct and a freshly painted gon at that.  Wonder why I never noticed that.  It states the D&RGW had a shortage of gons and pressing stock cars into coal service occurred.  I wonder if they leased a number of C&S gons?  

The shot I was referring to is on page 148-49 there are two gons just above the section houses on the east leg of the wye.  They appear to have larger lettering than the rest of the Flying Grande cars, but after pulling out the magnifine glass I'm doubting they are anything but D&RGW.  It kind of looks like they are double stenciled.  Thanks for the lead on page 130.
