Can anyone tell me the color that track speeders on the N&W were painted during the late 50's? I am guessing yellow or orange but don't know. Thanks for any info.

George,
A color picture of a "Motorcar" might be a hard thing to find. I never knew them to be anything but yellow. Maybe Ed King can verify that.
Big Jim is right. Paint 'em yaller.

Somewhere I have a slide of a speeder following the Abingdon Branch train (in the dry season to put out any fires). I do remember it.
It was yellow.

On one of the videos I have on the Norfolk and Western there is some color film that shows one or two and I agree with Ed .......yellow is the way to go.

Probably not original paint ,but the N&W one that was used in Williamson WVa. Yard,then donated to the defunct Williamson area railroad museum,reminds me of a school bus yellow.
The car dept still uses one (occasionally) in the yard at Williamson.Right now it is setting beside the roundhouse.
Thanks to all of you. Yellow it shall be.
