Saw these about a week or so ago in a nice unit train.... I happen to agree with the sentiment of the last one's reporting marks!
One more.... it's got CNW reporting marks.... but looks like a survivor of a different kind. :tb-biggrin:
Saw a C&NW car while awaiting the Empire Builder last month. But it was at night, so no photo... Boxcab E50
Wow that's cool, I didn't think there were any patch units left. Figured they'd all been retired or repainted by now. I think the two unpatched ones are still around though aren't they? Took these about a year ago? in Mankato, MN. I didn't get close enough to see what was inside, ballast maybe? They hung around in both the old and new yards, and on an abandon industry siding for at least a month.
