I had shown this elevator over on my Gateway thread, I had a few more pics, so I thought I'd put them here.
Look at the details on this thing. Track ends in the classic pile of dirt to the left.
These two fallen flag cars are at the far end of the building, loaded by the looks of the springs. They ship in, just as well as out, at this elevator.
What is the deal with the paint job on this car? Is that dark green an attempt of a re-paint?
I like how the original paint has weathered, luckily with out vandal's paint....this side anyway.
As long as I'm doing BN, here's one more..... less trucks.
Anybody have the story on BN cars that BNSF kept/repainted?
At least in my area I see a lot of gon's, covered hoppers & flat cars operating in BN original paint schemes. Apparently box cars was one that BNSF did repaints on. This is the first BN box car I've seen on or off the tracks!
