Example of polyline before the materials property was implemented?

How were polylines specified with czml before the materials property was implemented? We are restricted to using cesium b28 and the following polyline is not rendered at all...

{
    "id": "test-5",
    "polyline": {
        "positions": {
            "cartographicDegrees": [
                173,
                44,
                0,
                173.5,
                44.5,
                0,
                174,
                44,
                0
            ]
        },
        "width": 7,
        "color": {
            "rgba": [
                255,
                42,
                0,
                255
            ]
        }
    }
}

Can someone please let me know what the issue might be?

Thank you,
