I saw that at least one was a former CSXT boxcar with faded paint.

Some just had former roads blacked out, some give a quick coat of tuscan paint.
Speculation was that were from the 1970's and going for scrap... Date: 02/12/26 23:20 Re: Stored Boxcars Pulled from Buick Siding, CO Author: dan boxs used for service with roofing materials from Phillipsburg kansas ?

A large group of BKTY cars in the BKTY 150xxx through BKTY 157xxx range are involved as they are aging out at the 50 year mark. Many have already made their final runs.
