Cryogenic freight cars
Posted by retsignalmtr on Thursday, June 18, 2020 6:34 PM

I was at one of my favorite trainwatching spots on post road in Esopus NY today. A CSX train came by and I noticed the cars with CYRO reporting marks have names on the plug doors in RED. The only reason I noticed was one of the cars had my first name on it. All the other cars had different names on them. Any specific reason?

Cryo-Trans is famous for putting names on their cars-- there are several 'series' of them.  We have had threads on this before and you might succeed finding one of those posts with the usual search involving cs.trains.com and Cryo-Trans.  If I remember correctly the Heritage Units site had a sub-page for them.
