Warbonnet Wednesday: FP45 in 1970

Another nice Warbonnet roster shot, complete with a little something for overspray fans…

1. AT&SF 101 in Barstow, CA on February 12, 1970.

Thanks for looking back!

Great photo AND tongue-in-cheek statement of the day!  Love it!

I'm guessing someone in the paint shop was having a real bad day.  It is Barstow, but meth wasn't really a thing back then. They always oversprayed the pilot, but that guy went all along the side and even hit the builders plate.

No matter, I love to see pics of "old Barstow" before the new yard and shops were built to the west.

Seeing all that overspray coupled with the knowledge that they are painting directly over heavy grime on the trucks, etc., makes my OCD light up like a Christmas tree.

Too much work to cart a piece of cardboard around.
