Last Red Units ? Cars

[RFE]

Anyone have a apx date or # or type of the last Red units to be painted green.

What about last cars in service still CB&Q ? about a year ago I saw 1 or 2 old coal turned ballast hoppers that had CB&Q Numbers but its been a long time since I have seen any in rev service.

I saw a CB&Q/C&S gondola in BNSF company service last year, it had been outfitted to haul turnouts. It was seen in Seattle.

I think the last red units were repainted in '78. The last GN units went the previous year - BN was quick about repainting.
