Yes... there was the MTL Weathered Release of July 2024 (027 44 580, Road Number 8319), the LV Christmas Car sold at the National N Scale Convention in Bethlehem and elsewhere, and the 2024 membership car. These were all on the MTL 027 body style, which is a stand in for the prototype.
Sad news that Georgia Pacific has just announced that it will permanently close its Cedar Springs paper mill on August 1st.
Maybe I could have posted this as a Fallen Flag thread, but here are a couple of Conrail cars caught on the NS Harrisburg Line this afternoon.
Those are great! Hard for me to grasp that CR has been gone for 25+ years now. Looking like an Atlas N Scale car from their 1969 catalog is 40' PC 253220 in MofW service at Cresson, PA in April 1989.
I stupidly didn't take many pictures on CR freight cars. I mean, how could they ever be of interest? CR 369086 Class X73 Insulated Boxcar at Montgomery AL, March 1986. So glad that the guy in the Subaru pulled into the picture.
Spring flowers and clean SOU boxcars in the pre-graffiti era as 156 rolls north. [Blackstock SC, May 1992]
Dunno' why, but the first thing that came to mind was, this would make a nice Hallmark greeting card!! But what would the greeting say inside, hmmm......
Three BAR boxcars, the 6102 (Melrose Park IL, 04/1980) the 6556 (Oakdale TN, 03/1990) and the 8814 at Atlanta GA, 08/1992).
You could, indeed, since the M2 series of MU cars - among which the bar cars were included - were built by Budd.
