I don't know if that was some subconscious diet plan the railroads were trying after the full-crew cab experiments on the BQ23-7's or what, but I didn't like trying to wedge myself in there!
The Ontario Northland is still alive and mostly ok, although a lot of the industries they serve have been shut down in recent years...If you're referring to just the boxcar, I'm guessing that was the Athearn bluebox special painted by Bev Bel...I have a few <cough cough> of those cars on my ONR themed layout. Allow me the indulgence of plugging the group I head up as Chairman: http://www.onrhts.org/ ALso, you can spend time here looking at tons of photos: http://www.onrgallery.com/ Edited 1 time(s).
