    Doing what they did best, SP ACeez assist in safe descent of a heavy coal load in heavy fog at Tunnel 6; just west of Plainview, CO:

    Is this rare? I have never seen one like it before:
    Speed-lettering on a SP boxcar?

    Kinda, but I did see a number of them, along with the speedlettered auto racks and double stack cars.
    MDC in the late 90's, made three boxcars with the speedlettering in "N" scale. I have all 3 types.
    I would say the more rare "paint", is the boxcars that have the Sunset herald below the SP lettering, and the black Sunset herald on the gons. Both I wish they would make models of, in "N" scale of course! [​IMG] :D [​IMG]
