Western Railroad Discussion > Sad fate of a one of kind car WS Sargento Cheese boxcar!Date: 04/23/17 07:04 Sad fate of a one of kind car WS Sargento Cheese boxcar! Author: slacks Caught this car on a UP WB near lISBON Ia. It had an original paint scheme to honor a shipper. I heard that due to an old ICC rule from the 1930,s it could not go into revenue service. They had to paint out all inferences to a shipper and now the taggers have modified it further. Like to see it in it,s original colors.

Author: skiptrain An alernative would be to purchase one of the models of the Billboard Reefers done by Atlas Trains based on the incredible Billboard Reefers models done by the late Bob Wagner. I can't recall if they did one for WS Sarento Cheese, but I have a number they have done of other Cheese producers.
