According to the N&W Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment, the “hamburger” Herald was used between 1964 and 1971. After the NJI&I parent WAB merger with N&W in 1964, these cars were listed in N&W company records (but, individually in the ORER). So, these cars were repainted to this scheme between 1964 and 1971.
