I saw 2 Brown Western Pacific boxcars today with the White Feather logo. I couldn't see the number but I can definately tell it was a WP car. How many of these still exist? ---CREDIT: Fallen Flag Railroad Photos--- [ 12. October 2003, 22:59: Message edited by: A&A 6183 ]
I'm not surprised you don't see very many out on the wrong coast, but they're still common out west. There's also a lot of WP boxcars with the big "WP" in place of the feather logo. There are also a quite a few MP cars in their original paint, and of course still lots of SP and CNW cars. I can't remember ever seeing a MKT car in original paint. Does anyone ever see any of these? edit: Only slightly off topic, BNSF still runs a lot of woodchip gondolas in their original NP and GN paint. I also saw a pair of GN boxcars in original paint sometime during the early 90s. [ 13. October 2003, 02:17: Message edited by: LCSO_927 ]
