Arrrgh; John, Tuscan Red was a Pennsy PASSENGER color. PRR freight cars were a
very bright oxide red (called "Freight Car Color") until the very late 1950's.
The original color was almost orange.

Yes, there is a differnce; especially between "Tuscan" red (PRR) and "Mineral
Brown" (ATSF). However, if you haven't noticed it before, don't worry about it
unless your in training to be a rivit counter.
Thanks,

Maybe a short discussion if not a long one? I assume from the above
that all three of these colors are sort of more-or-less the same and
are used interchangeably. Would that be correct? Or is there more to
this than meets the eye?
Thanks....Ed L.
