In 1910 the standard colors used by the Missouri Pacific Railway on their stations were called ‘Bright Yellow with Bronze Green’ trim. This color combination was used on all right-of-way structures (depots, tool houses, section houses, privies, gatehouses, etc.). Those structures found in the railroad’s terminals (roundhouses, sand houses, storage buildings, car repair sheds, etc) were painted Red with Bronze Green trim. As of the date of this article it is not known if the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern used the same colors but both roads were merged in 1918 to the Missouri Pacific Railroad so one may assume buildings on the old Iron Mountain right of way could have received these colors between 1918 and 1925.
