[PRCo] Re: 3600 Paint Book

During WWII there were some pretty ugly work pieces on the outside track beside the Charleroi Barn. Definitely a very dark maroon. We were riding mostly 3800s.

  The only color notations in the paint book for 3600s apply to 3601,  
  3602 and 3609 in 1926 and 1927 and show "Simplex Red" paint.   Note  
  that most of the 3600s were scrapped in 1924.  Some were retained as  
  maintenance equipment, at least temporarily.   These colors may have  
  been for maintenance duty.   Note that the 3700s and 3750s were both  
  on the property at this time and may have been sufficient for  
  passenger service even though the 3800s were not yet delivered.
