Just did an exhaustive Google Image search...I can not BELIEVE that those cars never made it onto railfan collections.
I saw about five coil cars so painted...in 2001 or early 2002, on the line-of-road between Cleveland and Buffalo. I watched for more...but none appeared; and I figured that these were some sort of "mistake" and had gotten repainted.
About a year ago in Collinwood Yard, I saw one more coil car with (one of two covers) painted NYC. That was the last sighting...man, I wish now I'd had a camera.
