OK, time to try another what I call "Pun Topics" to see if we can get our Railfan photographers posting more photos. My two previous attempts (Look Mom, I can do my 1-2-3's and Look Mom, I can do my A-B-C's) got a few players but I want MORE! Like before, I will make this a Sticky topic for 3 Months and then it ride on it's own from there.
So, this one is all about posting your photographs of "Box Cars" so if you have them post them and if not get that camera out and go get some!

WOW, that last shot is a setup I've not seen before. Looks like they both would open up to the inside of the overall structure.
I've seem a photo of something similar to that last shot. I think it was in Railroad Model Craftsman in the 1990's and was a barn made with two old stock cars. Was a 1 page or so article about strange things out there that you'd guess would only exist on someone's layout.
Posted this in my new thread, but it seemed appropriate here, too:
Very Nice!!!!!!!
Hey! The LION found some box cars. They are in upstate NY. Anybody know where?

An old NC & StL box car that had been stored at a local Import/Export company here in louisville for a bunch of years, understand it's now gone to a museum. (SARM I believe.)
