1893
A new transcontinental passenger train is composed of cars finished in varnished mahogany on the exterior. The Railroad Car Journal criticized this by saying "its effect from close by is good, but from a distance the color is of a dirty brown. It is difficult, therefore, to see what benefit is derived from the use of this costly wood, and the omission of paint is hardly likely to prove an economy."
