Freight Friday

This weeks Freight Friday is an oldy.  Much respect to any piece that is able to last this long on the rails.  This one appears to date back to 1999 and is outlasted an all out buff and toys as well as being gone over all together.  It did suffer some injury being stamped but most of it remains.  You can still make out most of the color.  This piece dates back to when "graffiti paint" was just an idea so you can be safe to assume this paint was Krylon and Rustoleum brands.

It seems that the Golden West Service flat panel boxcars allowed a lot of writers to run for a long time.  We find it impressive for any piece to run longer than 5 years these days.  To see one go for over 15 years is very impressive and deserves its props.
