  I know the SIDES of the cupola is painted PC green.  I also know that
the main roof of the caboose is painted black.  What I am not sure of is
the roof of the cupola.  It seems like there might be a black panel
centered between the hand-grabs on the cupola roof.  I've gone through
my own Color Guide and the pictures on Jim Hebners page and cannot find
a clear view.  I belive that the PRR used to paint the cupola roof black
on N5C and N8 cabin
cars.
