86111 Grand Trunk Western - CN double door single car. This car features CN's web address under the logo.
86131 NYC -Conrail double door single car. With the split of Conrail between Norfolk Southern and CSX looming, the road began marking cars destined for the CSX fleet with NYC reporting marks. Though few if any former New York Central cars still existed with their original numbers, the NYC reporting mark was still assigned to Conrail by the AAR. With the split of Conrail complete, the AAR reassigned the NYC reporting mark to CSX. NYC 241043 was originally built for Penn Central in their Despatch Shops. Since receiving it’s Conrail paint, the right door was replaced with an unpainted aluminum door from another car. Note also this car still has it’s pre-1983 con-stencil format (the black and white boxes on the far right) although the data inside follows current practices.
86122 Norfolk Southern-gray 2-pack. In recent years, a portion of Norfolk Southern ’s massive auto parts box fleet has appeared in this rather glitzy scheme. This scheme even includes the name spelled out in a style not used on their locomotives. The inclusion of the stallion logo is also noteworthy. Perhaps the special treatment reflects the high value of the cargo carried. The road numbers in this 2-pack are from cars built by Greenville in the early 70s.
86161 Pennsylvania single car.
Delivered in 1966, this group of PRR cars was the largest batch ever delivered of this type of car. PRR had such a huge freight car fleet (over 112,000 cars of all types) that a typical mixed freight anywhere in the country was statistically certain to have some PRR cars in it!
86171 Penn Central ex-PRR single car. PC 237851 had been delivered in PRR paint but shortly after the 1968 Penn Central merger, the car was renumbered and the PRR keystone covered by the new PC logo. Apparently the PRR tuscan red was in too good a shape to warrant repainting the whole car green...
86181 Frisco single car, 86182 2-pack. Frisco served auto plants in Oklahoma and Missouri plus handled considerable bridge traffic from the Deep South to the Midwest and Southwest. The Frisco was acquired by Burlington Northern in 1980.
