Tom,
          Very nice to see all the great wonderful time capsule of freight car pics.  I look at these and it brings me back to when I was skinnier and younger living in Jax/p-cola FLA. and seeing how (back then) the cars were old and rusty lookin'. ha.   Thanks for sharing!  You should put out a freight car book or something on these pics.  Thanx Thom...

Thom,

Orlando, Tallahassee and Jacksonville were great locations to get photos of freight and passenger equipment. Today I see a train and it is so boring. I avoid them now but remember when I would sit and count the different RR names on the cars.

Times changed but not for the better for RR watchers.

Bob,

You are very welcome. I've been collecting loco, freight and passenger car photos for about 35+ years. Most were taken by me or friends. Some were taken off Ebay and others sent to me over the years.

I think I'll do a few passenger cars in a few weeks.

Glad you like the thread and photos.

Need to break up all these "southern" cars with a midwestern one.  This CB&Q boxcar is especially for Tom, it even has his name on it!

Great looking boxcar if I do say so.

Love it Jeff, thanks.  I've copied it to my file.
