Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone here has spotted WSOR pink cancer awareness boxcar out and about on the rails? I have only seen a photo of it. Please post a followup here saying when and where you saw this car.
Thanks,
Andy
WSOR 503196, for those who can trace it.
Hasn't gotten by me yet.

I caught it when it was fresh out of the Paint shops in Horicon back at the beginning of November:
Haven't caught it in revenue service though. I don't see the WSOR's RBLs on their regular routes much.
It's a bright pink all right!

Cool Picture...thanks
I wonder how long it'll take the "artists" to tag this boxcar?

I think in this case that might be an improvement.....
I don't think there is any danger of someone driving into that over a crossing.

Not very long I expect. Some of the brand-new BNSF freight cars already have graffiti on them.
I would guess it won't take long either. Something that attracts attention like that boxcar just yells "tag me!"
How many special schemes do they have now?

There's actually three 9/11/01 boxcars and one other patriotic one. One has a flag decal with "A Day America Will Never Forget," another with a flag decal has "God Bless America," and a third with an Air Force logo says "No One Comes Close" all released shortly after 9/11. Later on (want to say 2003ish) they did another with the flag decal and "We Support Our Troops."
And then the other 3 cars that Dan mentioned. Makes a total of 7 if I can count right.

I saw this car for the first time in person on train 484 on the CP at Duplainville. It has quite a bit of tagging on it which bugs me a bit. Not that tagging a rail car is right, but to deface a car that carries an important message as this one does is wrong.
The car has been tagged pretty heavily on both sides. I managed to catch it coming into Janesville on the Chicago train back in May. I put pictures of it up on my flickr, but it managed to create a crap-storm so I restricted the viewing on it.
I think it was tagged once, was repainted in pink, and has since been tagged again.
Lemme grab a link.

If you care to visit my flickr stream, here is the car from April 21, 2012. Within the replies you will see the other pictures of its first tagging.

The Wisconsin & Southern Fight *** Cancer came through Vicksburg, Michigan on a CN Eastbound to Battle Creek freight train on June 2nd, 2012. I have a slightly blurry photo on photobucket.
There are several videos on YouTube of the WSOR box cars.

I have seen this car on the UP-WSOR interchange at Granville WI twice in the past month, on 8-30-12 and 9-24-2012.
