Screenshot looks like Mecca. When Mecca was Mecca. Some little bit of that was filmed in the Joyce Avenue yards in Columbus, I remember guys talking about when they filmed it. That first part, up around 1:40 or so, was taken down on the Columbus House tracks, which was weight-restricted because of a bridge, and used Alco T-6's in Cy's time. The shot of them making up the train is taken off the Joyce Avenue overpass, which bridged the yard. I like those REAL brakemen riding atop that boxcar.

And before we drop this LAMCO history lesson, let's look at Southern.

The one you would expect to be in real color is in real color.

The other one.....? As expected....not so real color.

They could, no doubt, spring for the color because they had shafted some deserving soul(s) out of something.

Why didn't the old boxcar call the new boxcar a "red ass"?

 Green Team boxcars had more respect for each other than Green Team management had for their workers.

I noticed the "rolling stock is mostly 40ft boxcars.
Going through my rail pics and how many trains
I captured pulling a lot of 40ft boxcars. The 40ft
boxcar died atleast 20 yrs ago or more. Even
the 50ft boxcar seems obsolete. What boxcar
traffic exists today seems specialized in some
way. 60ft boxcars are popular as well as extended
height boxcars. Of course all boxcars of today
have to be spray-painted with graffiti.
