I've been browsing through some photo sites looking at the rolling stock variety coming into Oak Point, Fresh Pond, NYNJ Rail, etc., and I couldn't help but notice something peculiar: There are dozens upon dozens of Finger Lakes Railway (FGLK) boxcars running a muck throughout NYC and Long Island. These cars are usually patched FGLK but show the lineage of light yellow (heritage unknown); Texas Mexican; Guilford (white); St. Lawrence Railway; or newly painted boxcar red. Based on pictures they all come in cuts, leading me to believe they are classified in Selkirk and originate from the same origin (shipper?). Does anyone know the story behind these cars? Are they consigned to one particular customer in NYC/LI, are they in some form of lease arrangement, or do they all actually originate on the Finger Lakes Railway? I suspect they could be "leasers" like EEC, but of course I could be wrong.
Anyone know the story behind these cars, and why we see them in droves? Thanks!
