1937A few immediately come to mind.
<snip>
Southern Pacific and some variation of red and/or red and orange but not sure of the dates on that one.
Other than the M-10000 the Union Pacific did not start using Armor Yellow on regular service passenger cars until 1952.The others would include:
Union Pacific and its Armour Yellow.
Milwaukee Road and its bright Orange
Santa Fe Red and Yellow. However, I think their coaches may have been the traditional green until the streamliners came into play? But the red and yellow scheme for passenger and blue and yellow for freight is certain very well known.

Hmmm, so much for using UtahRails.net as a reference. I had always trusted it.Actually, Armor yellow was used on all “City of” trains and the Overland starting in 1936. In 1941 Leaf Brown was changed to Harbor Mist Gray. There were minor lettering changes here and there, but the scheme was quite long lived.
Gotta watch those web sources. There's often no way to vet the contributors, or there may be a very limited discussion going on. Kratville & Rank's "The Union Pacific Streamliners", and the SP's painting & lettering guide are what I've been using. I have a thing for the "City of" trains. I'm doing the 1941 train. I'd really like to do the 1938 train but that bulb nosed E-2 is a little rich for my blood!Hmmm, so much for using UtahRails.net as a reference. I had always trusted it.
That is kind of what I mean. Don Strack usually is well versed in his materials. He was one that I often used to check other peoples' things against.Gotta watch those web sources.
Well, I looked and it seems to be a pretty good site actually. Maybe we have a definition issue. You (or they) said regular service. Maybe what was meant was general service, when the yellow cars were used outside the "City" pool. That may be correct. I'm not enough of a UP expert to be sure.That is kind of what I mean.
