San Pedro, Los Angles & Salt Lake Railroad

Post by jazzfan4 »

HELLO ALL

I am taking a break for Disney Railroads and trying to find the color that passenger cars were for the SP,LA&SL RR. I have Googled the SP,LA&SL RR and there are no photos that I have found. There are post cards on EBAY that show the Riverside viaduct but two show green cars and two show red to brown cars. Always a pain looking for colors in a black&white photo world. Any help would be appreciated.

WELL, I have a partial resolution.
Reading about the Mojave Desert rails gave me the Name of the top train on the line, the Los Angeles Limited.

This lead to the Wikipedia article referencing the Los Angeles Limited as Pullman Green with black roofs and trucks and yellow lettering.

I was hoping for something more unique but maybe I paint it an altered Tuscan red or a different green anyway just to be different.
