Ah, but that's the rub:  The CONX cars were first black in the early to mid 1920s (as in Doug Heitkamp's photo below); then silver beginning some time between 1926-1930; then they were painted black again between 1937-1940.  Then all were off to Mexico during WW2 (1943-44?), disappearing from Colorado forever.

Thanks Jim,  I appreciate the correction, info on that sort of item floats in and out of my head so I don't actually memorise dates so much.
