Hi Folks,

I have seen pics of Thrall 86-foot auto parts double-door boxcars formally owned by Santa Fe and acquired by Conrail, painted in the red ATSF Shock Control scheme with patched CR reporting marks and the Santa Fe name whited-out in the target herald. CR 239298 is one. Does anyone know if Conrail also acquired ex-ATSF Pullman-Standard auto parts boxcars that also were quick-stenciled in the same manner? If so, does anyone have a photo? Thanks.
