Greetings All,
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY USA!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STATUE OF LIBERTY
The AP 500s
In late May of 2025 the Patti O Paint Shop was contracted once again by long time customer the Atlantic Pacific Railroad to paint and letter three Walthers undecorated ACF 50' exterior post boxcars.
The first of the AP 500 boxcars was photographed by APRR company photographer Norman after it was released from the shop.
Two more newly painted boxcars are pulled from the shop.
The NYCTL trainmen check out boxcar AP 501. The AP 501 and 500 get coupled together for movement to Terminal Yard.
AP 502 is pulled from the shop. Check out those New Haven locomotives in the background.
After the shop switcher delivers the 500s to Terminal Yard they are put on the headend of the next train leaving for Selkirk.
