Chicago Great Western switched from somber maroon to bright red for their locomotive and caboose fleets in 1963. Perhaps they were putting their best foot forward as they shopped around for a merger partner (including a proposed CGW-KCS-C&EI combination.) The railroad was making money thanks in part to running fewer but stupendously long trains. 200-250 car monsters were not rare. CGW did find their dance partner with the 1968 merger with Chicago & North Western.
