Vintage Railbox and Railgon Cars Still Rolling
Author: kevink

Over the last couple of months, I have seen a number of older Railbox and Railgon cars still racking up the miles.
1. Back on 12/11/2020, ABOX 52197 was rolling through Western Springs, IL on BNSF's HBRCGAL (Belt Railway Chicago - Galesburg, IL)
2. On 1/09/2021, I found GONX 310231 on CP train 281 in Franklin Park, IL
3. RBOX 39977 was heading west on BNSF's HNSINTW (Norfolk Southern-Northtown, MN) at Westmont, IL on 1/17/2021

Nice to see these veterans still working. GONX 310231 looks really good considering its age.

Pretty good for freight that have been in service for over 40 years.
