Mookie:

If Havelock is still doing heavy car repairs these days, there may be some there waiting to get in. IN THE MEAN TIME, we'll look for one to photograph. Couldn't find one in the PS&R Yard at Pueblo this morning where Progress Rail is cutting cars up.
(Observation: UP is cutting up auto racks and BNSF is cutting up Ballast cars and covered hoppers there....with the exception of red streaks and scap gondolas, that place is a roach hotel for rail cars, almost nothing comes back out....)

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west

Red Streak (.n) - an 89 foot flatcar, red in color, converted to move damaged railcars back to home shops from derailment or accident site.

Very common to see red streak cars with damaged carbody on one end and two sets of trucks belonging to damaged car on the other end....
bet they would have them at the Havelock shops, if I would just go look?

Maybe?

Kevin:
Warbonnet is what every kid got in his Lionel set for Christmas . Santa Fe's Red, Yellow, Black Lettering on a silver background.

To those of us down south of you, a red streak is a company service only modified to take de-trucked carbodies back to the shops for repairs or scrapping....
