Ancient CPR 40'

One can only guess how old this boxcar really is. The original paint dates prior to script, so 1940's? Hard to believe it's still roadworthy in 2008, even if it is used as a rolling shed.

How odd he looks next to a modern IMS double-stack. No such thing when he originally rolled the country new, moving hoboes from town to town.

In typical shop fashion, it's coupled next to a ...spreader!
WOW, now that thing's old. Suprised its still kicking about. Thought they all be in museums or scrap heaps by now. I guess you can't be an original.
