Yaller Cabeese, y'all..

CB&Q had some steel  waycars in MOW orange and many steel waycars in silver.  

Just before the BN merger, the Q painted some of their wood waycars Cascade Green.

BN painted their waycars Cascade Green.

Did D&RGW have gold steel cabooses ?

Duluth, Missabi & Iron Range used yellow cabooses.

Here in the northeastern part of the country, the Delaware & Hudson and Maine Central had some yellow cabooses.

As I recall, both C&NW (Chicago And North Western) and P&LE (Pittsburgh and Lake Erie) had yellow bay window cabs also. Then there's C&O and later, Chessie System''s yellow cabs.

Yellow-Orange: Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard Coast Line.

Orange: Illinois Central.

Insofar as “colors other than red”, PRR painted their cabins Focal orange (sometimes referred to as safety orange) beginning in the 1960’s.

LIRR went with yellow on their bay window cabins.

Chessie Systems used yellow cabooses as well.  Here is a prototype and a model photo of one I did for my son's train set in the 1970's. The model follows one we saw at the B&O Museum in Baltimore. I also painted a Lionel diesel switcher in Chessie colors to go with it.

And the B&O/Chessie I-12 cabin cars.

Missabe Road and I believe it's predecessors (D&IR and D&MN) used yellow cabooses.

Minneapolis, Northfield & Southern began painting cabooses yellow in about 1976, but the railroad was bought by Soo Line in the early 1980's so they were only around for a few years.

The Raritan River RR (NJ) had ex-DLW wood cabins that were yellow.

The P&LE ran at least one yellow caboose. It managed to get preserved in Youngstown at the Jim Marter Yard. It hasn't been fully restored in the photo so it's just plain yellow.

Guys...this is the REAL trains forum so please keep it that way!  The posts with pictures of model trains have been deleted.

I think it's interesting that most American railroads had some shade of red cabooses well into the 20th Century, then a few painted them yellow. The Union Pacific Railroad painted their cabooses a dark or tuscan red, then after WW II, in 1947, it painted all of them Amour Yellow, to match its Streamliner trains and all diesel locomotives and passenger cars.

I realize that the OP stated yellow cabooses other than the Texas & Pacific and the UP. But I couldn't resist posting this one. It's a steel sided UP CA-5 that lives in Heber City, Utah, and is owned by the Heber Valley Railroad. I have a UP CA-4 caboose on my layout which is identical to this one, in O scale, as some of you probably have. (sorry, colorado hirailer)
