Conrail box |
| Description: |
When I took this in 1978, just two years after Conrail startup, anything painted full CR was still something of a novelty, as there was an awful lot of equipment that was in patch paint. This fully painted CR 60 foot box was on the LIRR RF 7 job rolling on the bypass track to the south of track 8 at Jamaica station, headed for Holban. |

Per diem car |
| Description: |
Because of the per diem rules concerning railroad equipment in force at the time, some short lines had large fleets of cars that were essentially free runners, and didnt come home much, a lot like Railbox, only owned by a particular road. Middletown & New Jersey was one such road. They had a very short main line in Orange County NY, and little on line traffic, but a large group of these box cars, which could be seen everywhere. This one was passing Jamaica station on the LIRR, bound for Holban Yard on RF 7, the west end job that handled traffic from Sunnyside Yard A to various points on the west end of the railroad, working as directed. A bonus is the EL box right behind. Always good to see EL represented!! |

Classic, almost 20 years later |
| Description: |
This car is now on its third owner in its first owners paint scheme. The EL merger was 18 years earlier, in 1960, and Conrail got the car when it took over EL operations two years prior to the photo. The Erie equipment seemed to have a longer life ahead of it than DLW cars, with some Erie boxcars being spotted at the Binghamton Agway into the early 1990s. Dont know how long this one lasted, but it was still hard at work on the D&H in Oneonta this day. |

Rare find |
| Description: |
As Conrail started to get a handle on their operatons, some cars quickly became hard to find, especially those from the smaller component roads with smaller fleets. The larger roads-EL, PC, and to an extent, Reading-had fairly modern equipment, many cars built in the 1970s. The LV and CNJ had mostly aging cars, and much smaller fleets. These were rationalized early, and after the first few years, it was a real challenge to find CNJ or LV cars. This LV box was on the D&H, still making a few more pennies for CR before being sent to the bone yard. Note the D&H gon to the left. Those are now a memory as well. |

Didnt expect these |
| Description: |
Though I suppose I should have. My friend Dan Heller was helping his brother move to Phoenix in the summer of 1980 when he caught these Apache RR box cars near Holbrook. When I think of Arizona, I usually think of minerals, not manufactured products that roll in box cars. Then I recalled that there was a paper mill on the line. Now it makes sense!! |

Auto parts car |
| Description: |
Prior to the doublestack era, there were many of these 86 foot auto parts box cars in service in the US. The large size was to maximize the cubic footage. Since many auto parts are light-as a truck driver, I carried many loads of plastic and fiberglass parts where I had a 53 foot trailer full to the doors with less than 10,000 lbs-these cars would cube out before they got anywhere close to weight limits, and they allowed a large quantity of product to be shipped at one time. This SP car was on the Southern Pacific near Phoenix. |

Fallen but not gone |
| Description: |
The merger that created the Illinois Central Gulf was eight years behind, but there was a lot of equipment that had not been repainted. GM&O power ran on the ICG well into the 1980s. This pair of GM&O box cars was eastbound at Bayview, still innocent of any sign of the 1972 merger. |

B&O boxcar |

Whose is it?? |
| Description: |
This boxcar seems to have a case of split personalities, as it is lettered for both CNW and Rock Island. Joint ownership?? Not hardly. This photo was taken Labor Day weekend in 1981; the Rock by then was but a memory. CNW had acquired some of the rolling stock, and changed the reporting marks, but not painted out the Rock markings. |

ACL box car |
| Description: |
One of the thngs I love about railroad yards is that often old equipment goes there not so much to die, but to live on in obscurity. This tends to let some of it last a very long time. This ACL box was at Richmond in May 1985, long after the ACL was a memory. |

Rare pair |
| Description: |
A couple of now rare cars were rolling past BD. One is a CNW car with an interesting message-I wonder if it was an ex CGW car perhaps. The D&H box isnt all that interesting, but after CP took over, most D&H rolling stock was gone rather quickly. So its a look at a vanishing part of the northeast rail scene. |

Not just diesels |
| Description: |
Much was made of the ex LV and Reading power that was conveyed to the D&H at Conrail startup. There was also some freight equipment. Most LV cars were in pretty sad shape, and almost all of them went to CR and were scrapped shortly into the Conrail era. Some Reading cars survived, with some box cars going to the D&H, such as this one on RPPY at BX. The only change to it was the reporting marks, leaving no doubt as t the previous owner. The NW hopper behind is also a classic, with its hamburger herald. |

Forlorn 40 footer |
| Description: |
This 40 foot box car was sitting on a spur west of the Erie Jamestown station, where once there were several tracks that served local industry. Those industries, and connections to the outside world, have long vanished, sealing this cars fate. Dont know if the owner missed it, or even whose it is, as there were no discernible markings on it. |

Hand me down |
| Description: |
Freight cars on short lines and regionals, because they often come from other places, can yield some surprises. This former Erie Western car, itself a hand me down for that defunct road, is northbound on 413 at Depot Hill Rd. To think, 25 years earlier, it was gracing the Erie main line across Indiana. |

Good stuff baking |
| Description: |
This Gold Medal Flour box was spotted on BH 1 at Homer going north. Not exactly a billboard car, but more company recognition than is typical in this era. The CMHX reporting marks belong to an operation called Carmath Inc. |

Pleasant surprise |
| Description: |
This was a real surprise. The Grande was not known for having a lot of boxcar traffic, and to see one almost a decade after its fall was a treat. This one is westbound on 12T. |

Back to Maine |
| Description: |
This Bangor & Aroostook box was northbound on train 253. Its herald has faded, but otherwise the car looks passably decent but for the graffiti. |

Memories of fallen flags |
| Description: |
Time to reminisce as we see a fallen flag crossing a fallen flag. A Tex Mex box crosses the former Rock Island at Howe. |

A&M box cars |
| Description: |
For a railroad that labors mostly in obscurity, except that it has Alcos, it has a fair amount of its own equipment. These two boxcars were at Springdale. |

Conrail lives!! |
| Description: |
These ex CR 86 foot auto parts cars were in a northbound KCS train. NYC reporting marks were used to distinguish equipment that went to CSX in the Conrail break up. NS used PRR marks. |
