Leased NJT franken40 coming into Cedar Park Station July 19,2012

This guy was head out in my train yesterday in Federalsburg, MD. That red dot of discoloration on the B end side is the headlight from my engine. I'm not sure how many of these pink FBOXs are out in the wild. I've only personally seen one other.

I don't know what train this was that was departing, but it looked nice.

MTL did them a TBOX too.

Fixed it for you.        Come to think about it, the other one I saw might have been an RBOX. Wish I had taken a photo.

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Oh damn. Yeah.

Also, another one past the goalie!

Beautiful shot!

However... the caption says "The departing City of New Orleans is illuminated by the lights of the Whole Foods on its way out of Chicago."
If that's true, why is there an engine at the rear?  Is City of New Orleans  one of those trains that backs out of the station end then turns around to head south?  I vaguely recall that in the 1980s some trains did that.

It seemed to be the case. I was definitely annoyed when I discovered this last night. I was standing on the bridge, knew the train was departing and then I see the tail lights coming out from under the building. Dammit!!

But it still worked out ok I suppose.

Another unique graffiti job; we had the gate closed, and I got this kinda cool shot through it.

As DJ Khaled would say: Another one.
