That may be one of the sharpest switcher paint schemes of all,
and we have seen lots of great ones during the past weeks.
How about that box car with T&P 1010 ? Any details available?
Reminds me of MoPac passenger colors.
Thanks for the excellent photo.

That is a mail storage car that was a normal companion to T&P passengers trains from Ft Worth to Texarkana. And depending on the destination of the mail it would also go on the MP as far as St Louis Mo.

The car is basically just a AAR style 40 ft steel box car but fitted with high speed trucks and a steam pass through line along with a communication line.

Thanks for the info about that interesting boxcar.
I will now pay much more attention to those passenger trains.
