Freightcar "1" General That looks like EMD in McCook Il. Must be brand new, the stacks are capped and there's a tarp over the radiator. Sooo, That should date it late 1949. 11/7/2012 6:17:00 PM
Robert Beichler General This is a NW2 and I agree that it is new being capped and tarped, production run of 2/39 to 12/49 11/7/2012 8:02:59 PM
Alan Fricker General The original paint scheme was olive green or Pullman green with an orange lightning stripe. And I agree that this was taken at EMD-perhaps a builder's photo? 1/4/2014 11:53:01 AM
