From October 1980 on the NYS&W at Butler, NJ, all-door boxcar CACV 30030. Car owner Cooperstown & Charlotte Valley was owned by Delaware Otsego and the DO had just bought the NYS&W. I lived close by and seeing this car brought me some excitement because Butler had become the weed-grown end point on the troubled NYS&W and it was neat to see some activity. I wish the driver of the Subaru 1600 had found a different spot to park.
March 1994 at Columbia, SC finds lovely side discharge hopper CO 964108, smoke herald and all, built 5-1967.
A couple of Ventura County Railroad/Golden West Service (SP) mechanical refers bring up the rear of a piggy train near Lancaster CA. 1993... R-70-24 ex PFE built in around 1971
I've never seen anything like it. I found that the orange paint is a result of it being a former EL mechanical reefer, EL 5000-5039.

Aaannnnnnnddddd here's some fully clothed autoracks... CP Portal Sub, Minot and Kenmare, ND:
