It's the Lower Montauk Branch over Union Turnpike at Forest Hills. Light grey? Silver? Dirty white?

AS my shrink would say:

What color do YOU think it is painted?


Actually I would say it started as a dark gray but got lighter due to exposure to the elements.

In 1968 Chevrolet had a Teal Blue, so that's my guess.
Teal Blue

Thanks, guys. I bought several of the new Walthers deck girder bridges and I want to paint the sides but wasn't sure about the color. Does anyone have access to a LIRR color guide?

The LIRR still owns the ROW but leased the lower Montauk to the NY&A for 10 years. They are responsibly for maintenance.

US Navy Gray, work fine, lasts a long time, varies from ship to ship.

I can add that the LIRR bridges near Freeport were repainted in the last two years or so, and they were a darker grey than that.

I'm modeling the 1950's so it's anyone's idea what color it really looked like back then. Obviously the paint began fading on the day the painters finished.

Guys, I'm colorblind so I'm bad with colors. Which of these grays do you think comes closest to battleship gray?
