Hi deleslie,
The changeover from yellow to orange occurred around 1964. There was probably a mix of reefers painted in both schemes for awhile. As far as WADX and MODX reporting marks are concerned, these groups were owned by the respective railroads; WADX by Wabash/N&W and MODX by Missouri Pacific. When N&W dropped out of ART, they got the WADX cars. Why the Missouri Pacific relettered MODX into ARMN is not clear.
As an aside, if all goes well (keep your fingers crossed) we may have an ART book out with detailed rosters in the near future.
