More common XM box cars, any flavor, please.

 

I wasn't sure what the definition of an XM boxcar was so I pulled this off a Trains webpage

XM – Boxcar for general service equipped with side or side and end doors

I think these two would qualify.

How about a 50 foot boxcar, any color.

More Consolidated Rail and predecessors, please.

I think this is correct... the New York Central:

The above scene was photographed on the Atlanta Interlocking Model Railroaders modular HO scale train show layout.

Show me a picture of another locomotive pulling a brown (boxcar red) box car.

How about anything PC, predecessor, or successor.

How about all three, all rolled in to one?

More Consolidated Rail and predecessors, please.

Like you, Ed, I have created a world where Pennsy and New York Central co-exist.

There were several areas where they coexisted and I share your interest in running both. Cleveland was one of these areas with PRR trains even having trackage rights over the NYC and vice-versa. Even the LE&P was jointly owned by PRR and NYC. All in the name of fun operating possibilities Smile

Anything else Penn Central or predecessor roads?

 

I think this New York Central streamlined steamer qualifies.

Like you, Ed, I have created a world where Pennsy and New York Central co-exist. I don't have quite the variety of roads that you do but the Erie does operate a coal train over my road through trackage rights. 

How about anything PC, predecessor, or successor.

Next show me Penn Central

Not quite what you'd expect:

Rio Grande was trading in these Fs and when P-C got wind of the action they decided the trade-ins were in better shape than some of the Fs they had.

Anything else Penn Central or predecessor roads?

More trains on the curve, please.

 

I think I posted this not too long ago in the December SMS but its the only shot I have in my archives that meets the request.

The shot was staged because this is on my shortline which is served by a Ten Wheeler and a Doodlebug. Diesels don't normally run on the line.

More trains on curves please.

Another train coming round the bend.

The tail-end of the Congressional Limited negotiates the bend:

Fortunately tracks in curves are not too difficult to find in our model world.

More trains on the curve, please.

Welcome to a new year, and the first Show Me Something of 2023.

Here is a picture from a departed forum member:
