I have here in my collection a Atlas 40' boxcar in a blue/white/black Boston & Maine scheme. The road number of the car is 76030, and it has a built-on date of 4-47 making it just early enough to be on my layout set in October of 1947. I recently read though that this was not the original paint scheme of the boxcar! Can anyone tell me if this is true and when was this blue/black/white scheme applied? Most of the car is blue with the B in white, and the M in blue on a black background. Any help would be appreciated.
