Nostalgia & History > Freight Car FridayDate: 11/24/17 06:44 Freight Car Friday Author: refarkas Here are two freight cars for Freight Car Friday.
Image one: HTTX 93031 is in Decatur, Illinois on March 28, 1978. Image two: C&NW 135799 is in Akron, Ohio in Summer 1978. It is hard to imagine it was manufactured two years before, yet the paint looks new and is untagged.

Not a speck of dirt to be found!

Jim Leonard Cheyenne, WY Date: 11/24/17 08:41 Re: Freight Car Friday Author: blueflag It was offered through the Chicago & North Western Historical Society last year. It is no longer listed on the website as I believe they are essentially sold out. There might be one or two left.
