For the sixties to early seventies vermillion red I have used Scalecoat I Daylight Red. I’ve often wondered with all the Great Northern people who moved over with Jenks decided that Vermillion Red was the only proper color for cabooses. Thank goodness it was before Big Sky Blue.

I think Jerry Michels even saw mid seventies memos chastising someone at Sedalia for the orange cabooses. So they adopted a real red like Kevin posted.
