Been looking at Google maps street view today to get some ideas about the buildings along the tops of grain silos and came across this at Saginaw TX
Looks like they were being dragged away for disposition after a derailment. If they're still usable, they'll repair them and put 'em back on the rails.
I followed them all the way to Hearne where they went to the GATX shop. They probably rebuilt them there. Here is one parked on a siding across from the shop in Hearne waiting for a little touch up work.
Rock and CNW markings, Nice catch! When I see clean/untagged cars, I shoot 'em. When I see classics, I shoot 'em.
Chicago & Northwestern round house in Chicago. December 1942. Jack Delano photo from Library of Congress collection.
Looks like 56 stalls, by counting the exhaust chimneys. About the same size as the former CN Turcot roundhouse in Montreal (it was demolished in 1962 to make way for a poorly-designed and poorly-built highway interchange, which is now being demolished and rebuilt into another interchange...).
It looks like the roof goes all the way 'round so there must have been at least one through stall, probably over by that yellowish building non the left. Doug
Railien? Oooooohhh... CN is getting help from the UFOs!!! Call Mulder and Scully! Mmmmmm... guacamole...
CSXT 595 in YN3B scheme leads a unit ethanol train at Manchester, IA. March 10, 2021 Most people get drunk, others want sex but as for me, I go Railfanning.
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Now just a lowly yard engine shuffling cars around in the flat yard at Hearne. Does not look like the switchers of yesteryear.
Caught on the former SOU main at Fairforest, SC on 03/04/2021 was this light engine move with a pair of NS's GE AC44C6M DC-To-AC units. Trailing unit 4002 is one of several that received special paint.
