To UNPX same numbers and currently owned by YARR. Atlas's next upcoming run includes a YARR ex-BCOL patch job.

Someone asked this identical question at the following forum: http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?3,3317284

According to the discussion, the cars were leased and now have different reporting marks.  There is also a reference to a book which contained a photo of the car.

I have been trying to find pictures of this car in the BCOL numbers but I searched my usual places and so far I have not found anything.  Were they renumbered or sold at some point?
