MORE NS CARS

Here we see a NS gondola sitting in Montview yard. Notice, however, the logo on the near end of the car- a Missouri Pacific 'Buzzsaw' herald! Obviously the NS acquired this car second-hand.

Next, we see an NS-owned tank car, similar to the Atlas 20,700 gallon tank car model. In fact, the top hatch configuration is very close. It appears to most closely match the model with the 2-piece top platforms and type 20 saddles. As you can see, the car is in Maintenance Of Way service, and looks to have been recently painted/repainted. This is the first railroad- owned tank car I have see in person.
