Rock Island passenger cars

I'm just wondering if the Rock Island ever painted any single level passenger coaches in the red and yellow livery like some of the Galley commuter coaches? I would like to have a coach in that scheme because I really like that scheme because it reminds me of my favourite TTC subway cars.

Yes. There was a batch of Pullman carbon-steel cars that were single level lightweights, made in the late 40's or 50's. They were originally green like the "Jesse James" Harriman cars, but some got the red/yellow stripe look like the red gallery cars. These cars were known as "cattle cars" and each side had two doorways with dual sliding doors, like a modern gallery car. These were the only single-level cars to be painted red. Most LD single level cars were stainless, with the exception of Golden State Rocket cars on interline service with SP - those cars were red above the belt rail.

Here's a pic by Marty Bernard of the cattle cars in green. It's almost impossible to find the cattle cars in red.
