The 2200 series coaches weren't given the same treatment. Some cars had
recently been painted silver with tuscan stripes and many if not all of
these retained this appearance. A number of coaches were painted silver with
an Action red stripe. Both of these as well as all-tuscan coaches were used
on The Canadian as needed until VIA if not beyond.
I think that was true for the lightweight baggage express and GROVE cars
too. Didn't the silver heavyweight cars keep the tuscan letterboard also?
