Just though I'd try something different then the usual rolling stock rosters.
Being a big rolling stock fan I searched throuhg my collection of a couple hundred "beaten" car shots and this is still the best IMHO. Whether it's SOO's white paint that exposes all the rust or the cars longivity, these boxcars can be found everywhere, often in this livery.
