Yearly Santa Fe boxcar search
Author: SantaFeRuss

I ask this almost every year about large logo Santa Fe boxcars currently in service. Anyone spot any of these cars lately? http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,2793725,2793725#msg-2793725 Thanks for any answers....or photos.

I see a lot of those here in GA. 60ft long they are in beverage service between California and Jacksonville FL

There is a 50' Berwick boxcar completely intact with ATSF reporting marks at the west end of CSX Barr Yd. (Riverdale, Illinois). The car doesn't even have FRA-mandated yellow reflective stripes! It can't be interchanged to home rails because it reached it's age of 40 years. I believe it's ATSF 15770...

I caught this rough looking example at Cosnino, AZ on the BNSF seligman sub in February. I still see ATSF boxcars with the small logo in the corner all the time, but this was the first time I've seen one with the big logo in years.
