1. St. Maries River Railroad Waffle Boxcar STMA 60109 in Minot, ND in December 1983.  The line is a shortline Class III railroad that operates 71 miles of freight service in northern Idaho. It began service on May 23, 1980, over trackage that previously had been owned by the bankrupt Milwaukee Road.

2. St. Maries River Railroad ZAP Boxcar STMA 52067 in Minot, ND in December 1983.

3. St. Mary's Railroad Boxcar SM 2080 in January 1981.  The line is a Class III railroad operating in Georgia. The SM was merged into the Gilman Paper Company on January 11, 1999, and operated initially under the Gilman name.  In January 2007, the St. Marys Railroad, LLC was purchased by the Birmingham, Alabama-based Boatright Companies. The railroad continues to be fully operational with no change in its reporting marks. It has always maintained its own locomotives and cars with a fully equipped shop facility in St. Marys.

Yellow St. Mary's cars had plug doors, white had standard doors.

And many of the white standard door cars were repainted bright orange with small new logo in blue...
