Autorack riding on ETTX , north of Alamogordo on 2/18/2008. This Union Pacific autorack train was headed east on the Golden State route with an ex-SP SD40M in the consist. The rack is in decent shape considering its age. |

60-foot box 625446, on a northbound NAFTA train at Rincon on 5/08/2016. This car still shows remnants of its ATSF herald and “Shock Control” logo. The marks and number have been repainted. Graffiti obscures much of the other stenciling, unfortunately. |

This ancient 40-foot boxcar, No. 22026, was sold to the Navajo Mine railway, and has been modified for use as a catenary maintenance car (the mine RR was electric until around 2017). It’s been at the mine since the 1980’s, perhaps longer. It still carries all its ATSF markings except for a New or Built date, which may be hidden behind the partially-opened door. Friction-bearing trucks. (8/22/2008) |

Here’s a partial shot of an old gondola rebuilt into a wood-chip car. Shot is from 1982 at the pulpwood mill at South Fork, Colorado. Unfortunately we can’t read the number from the 126 print… |
