M&St L boxcar, 2526-left side
Title:  M&St L boxcar, 2526-left side
Description:  I couldn't get the "system" to accept this photo, so here goes with "Plan B". Minneapolis and St Louis boxcar 2526 was waiting for its next destination in the former C&O yard in Huntington, WV in May 1978. Date is approximate. I took this photo with a Kodak 126 and didn't realize till after the print was developed that I didn't get the whole car in the photo (this was one of the first, if not the first, rail car photo I ever took!). So, I took another of the other side of the boxcar door (same side, of course!).

SSW (Cotton Belt) boxcar, unknown number
Title:  SSW (Cotton Belt) boxcar, unknown number
Description:  This Cotton Belt boxcar was in the former C&O yard in Huntington, WV sometime in either 1979 or 1980 (date is uncertain). I couldn't get the car number due to the sun angle.

Title:  B&O 471986. retouched photo
Description:  This is a copy of my other picture of B&O 471986. The only difference is that I used the computer software to enhance the photo, hoping to get a better idea of B&O's true freight car colors. It's still a brownish red IMO.
