Texas Mexican Railway 50ft single sliding door     Trans-Kentucky Transportation System 50ft cushion underframe single sliding door (these cars were reassigned to TTIS by Itel Rail from the Bath & Hammondsport Railroad. The first batch simply had the reporting marks changed and still carried the BH lettering and logo and there's a story behind that too. This version was completely repainted with a color that was a close match for the BH wine color, but it quickly faded to a rather sick looking box car red)     Virginia Central 50ft single sliding door in the second run painted a lovely green and white

Thanks Gary! I guess you can tell why I model the late 70's to early 80's era! You don't see this kind of color and variety modeling the current era, although I have to admit it has its own rewards. It was an exciting time on the railroads and made rail fanning far more interesting IMHO.

It is a long, slow process, but I hope that many folks will find this interesting. There are a lot of younger modelers that never saw this equipment or at least don't remember it. Many will have never heard of most these railroads either, so it could be considered an education.

This is the last of the ones in the "duplicates/extras" box, so now I'll have to spend some time going through the main slide collection to dig out more, and there are many. Unfortunately, they are scattered throughout the slide trays! Any way, I'll add more as time permits.

Well here are a few more. Have to apologize for them not being in any particular order, but they are scattered all through the slide collection so will post them as I come to them. Also, HP has updated the scanning software and I'm having to master the changes they made - some good - some not so good! New software allows me to scan 5 slides at once instead of one at a time, but many of the features in the old software are missing - that's progress!

Corinth & Counce 50ft cushion underframe single sliding door     Camino Placerville and Lake Tahoe 50ft cushion underframe double sliding door     Lenawee County 50ft single sliding door     Louisville New Albany & Corydon 50ft single sliding door     Louisiana Midland 50ft single sliding door

Oregon Pacific & Eastern 50ft cushion underframe double sliding door (with Kyle Railways logo)     Port of Tillamook Bay 50ft cushion underframe double sliding door     Warren & Ouachita Valley 50ft single sliding door     Sort of a toss-up as to whether this is a true Short Line IPD car, as the W&OV short line was a subsidiary of the Rock Island and this fleet of cars (numbered 1-99) carried the Rock Island logo and Route Rock slogan. Still they were fielded and treated as IPD cars. Never did see No. 1 but was always on the lookout for it.

Wonderfull car photos.

But when did you make them ?

In the 80s ? Or 90s ?

Or are these current pictures ?

Re: Short Line IPD Equipment - cv_acr - 08-08-2011

This is a great thread.

It is sometimes possible to find shortline cars in their original colours still, but almost never in their original reporting marks anymore, and 30-40 years of weathering really takes their toll on the original paint. Most cars still in their original 1970s paint are pretty ratty looking. And new repaints tend to be plain brown.

This is a great look back in the past when boxcars were colourful.

Joerg;
Thanks! These slides were all taken in the late 70's to mid-1980's when the cars were new or only a few years old and in their original reporting marks. You do not see anything like this today. railohio has posted a couple of examples of what you do see currently.
