The stacks on Rio Grande Western 51 and 35 were painted red (51 was noted to be painted this way in honor of William Jackson Palmer's special inspection train, so this may have been a temporary appearance. In 1886, the ''Salt Lake Daily Tribune'' proposed that stacks be painted vermillon to match the drop shadowing on the lettering.)

			The ''Salt Lake Tribune'' noted that the drivers on 51 were not painted red, but "ought to be painted red to correspond," referring to the practice applied to narrow gauge engines previously.
