Western Railroad Discussion > DRGW autoracks

Are there any DRGW close auto racks left?

I have not seen any in many, many years.

There are 'racks' lettered for DRGW running around, just pained in UP yellow. 

Last time I saw one in DRGW livery was around 2002, in Sacramento, CA.  

I began looking for them intesively after than, with no success on any in their original livery.  Including living trackside on the Cap P for a couple years.  With no luck.  

They are still around though, look for DRGW reporting marks on the bodies of some of the older "Building America" branded UP autoracks.  The paint was pretty new on them in 2003, now kinda faded.
