Rare find  Contributor's Pick!       
The Western Pacific was folded into UP in 1982, almost 40 years ago. To find one of their boxcars still rolling well into the 21st century was a find. This one was on a northbound at Mc Alester on the ex MKT. I caught it the day UP 4014 was visiting for an overnight service stop, so there were lots of daisy pickers around, hence the lack of a clear shot. Oh well....and of course, it's covered in graffiti!!
