I saw a couple sitting in a cut of cars in the UP yard in St. Louis yesterday, too, so they are getting around everywhere. Thanks for posting.

You still see quite a few of them out there, especially in Santa Fe red. UP boxcars have gotten quite rare however.

The BKTY cars, identical to the UP's in every way including the paint and small UP herald appliactions, start at car number 160000, which is the thousands' number series above their 50-ft. boxcar number series which is 150000---.
