switching Fostoria, Ohio Automotive Distribution Center ( Norfolk Southern Auto Mixing Center ) with brand new BNSF 301318 Auto Rack. Looks like BNSF has gone to White from Orange.

Someone thought white would keep the inside cooler, reflecting the heat. Just their thought. Date: 09/25/17 13:27 Re: NS - 5248 - GP-38-2 - with - Brand New BNSF White Auto Rack. Author: CFI_85 Could it be this was originally built for CP, but maybe they (CP) canceled their order and BNSF decided to pick it up instead?
