Album Info:All the freight cars in this album are from railroads which don't exist anymore--many of which have been gone for decades! I didn't include a whole lot of Burlington Northern or Santa Fe stuff because, after all, you still see quite a few of those on the BNSF mainline. All these are pretty rare in Norman, though, and I think most are pretty rare anywhere. I hope this album brings back good memories!

Golden West Service Hopper
Title:  Golden West Service Hopper
Description:  HPJX 74582, I think. Golden West Service was part of Southern Pacific, from what I've heard. This car looks like it's seen anything and everything!

Chicago & NorthWestern Hopper
Title:  Chicago & NorthWestern Hopper
Description:  CNW 182420. You can barely see the W in the shadow, but take it out, and suddenly, this is a strange-looking Canadian National freight car!

Baltimore & Ohio Gondola
Title:  Baltimore & Ohio Gondola
Description:  BO 357474. The Baltimore & Ohio was one of Americas oldest railroads, and this gondola looks like it could be one of the original cars! Not actually that old, but its batter and rust attest to its many years of service. Still going in 2017!

Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy Hopper
Title:  Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy Hopper
Description:  CB&Q 160750. On the way to the Amtrak station one morning, I caught a surprise freight train and this even bigger surprise on it! At the Eufaula Street crossing, just south of the Norman station, heading north.

Rock Island Boxcar
Title:  Rock Island Boxcar
Description:  WRWK 205112. Not in great shape, but the only active boxcar from this railroad I've ever seen! From one of Oklahoma's main railroads, back in the day.
