I’ve recently seen some new rotary dump cars made by Freightcar America. One group had red paint at the rotary end while the others had yellow. Is there a reason why some would be red and some would be yellow or is this just per the customers specs? For whatever it’s worth, the “red” cars were for FURX and the “yellow” were for AEPX.
I think its just up to the customer so it would fit into their paint scheme. Like Union Pacific has yellow ends and BNSF have oxide red or green ends. Color shouldnt matter as long as its visible and on the rotating end.
