Western Railroad Discussion > New Year's Eve Freight Cars 1Date: 01/13/21 16:27 New Year's Eve Freight Cars 1 Author: kevink As I noted in my earlier thread: https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,5170926, I was able to get a lot of nice freight car photos throughout the day. The day started in Franklin Park, IL.
While driving on Green Street along the south side of the CP's Bensenville Yard, I found: 1. DME 80098 a Trinity-built gondola East of Scott Street, CP train 285 was making a number of moves to put its train together. 2. QC 77143 3. CP 224241 in fresh green paint Edited 1 time(s).

4. CP 224241 - deserves another angle 5 & 6. A pair of Reading and Northern cars loaded with anthracite: RBMN 7597 & RBMN 7562 Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 01/13/21 16:33 by kevink. Date: 01/13/21 16:28 Re: New Year's Eve Freight Cars 1 Author: kevink Still more cars from train 285:
7. EMPX 4128 Next up are a pair of K+S Potash cars. These are a first for me even though they have been around a few years. 8 & 9. KSPX 5109 and 5102, both are 4300 CF cars from NSC (National Steel Car) Look for another batch of freight cars in a few days. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 01/13/21 17:23 by kevink.

I caught the same CP boxcar on CP 246 near Carlisle, ON 2020-11-13. First and only one I've seen. Now it makes me wonder if it's a one-off or a new rebuild program.

Date: 01/14/21 07:28 Re: New Year's Eve Freight Cars 1 Author: djd83 rrpicturearchives shows several cars in the 2241xx and 2242xx series painted green like this one. Not sure if they're full series or rebuilds or what
Edit: This site shows just 4 cars in service as of July 2020 Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/14/21 07:30 by djd83. Date: 01/14/21 08:57 Re: New Year's Eve Freight Cars 1 Author: kevink pbouzide Wrote:

Still lots of things that are printed in big printing plants like Quad Graphics that use paper that comes in big rolls. Date: 01/14/21 12:28 Re: New Year's Eve Freight Cars 1 Author: gonx Good shots
I like the new green paint Date: 01/14/21 15:57 Re: New Year's Eve Freight Cars 1 Author: inCHI Nice shots. I see CP 281 several days each week and each car you saw shows up in its consist as well. I've been seeing the green CP boxcars for a few months now and was surprised by the color choice. But at this point I've seen 3-4 in a train, and see them in almost every train, so there are quite a few out there.
