That's an Atlas FGE insulated boxcar... with it's door removed.

This seems to be a common CSXT tool car or rail train buffer car.

At first glance, I thought the section with the 2 doors was actually a storage unit on the other side of the car and we were looking through the car to the storage unit. :facepalm:

It is, there's some shadows on the grey portion that don't match anything on the car.

If N scale had good SD40-2s, C30-7s, U30Cs, SD45s, SD40s, and SW10s; I'd be in N scale.

Let me guess... you can tell from the pixels and you've seen quite a few shops in your time.    :D

I wonder what is behind the rollup door. Some sort of hovercraft for chasing graffiti artists?  :D

Pre-fab walls to fit door openings for instant MOW use . Thats something Craig , Bob , or Shapeways could could have as an offering . There is the same shade of pink on the human door as well as below it . What throws me off the " it's real " is a lack of any visible riveting or welding . Also no new steps makes the mod only half baked . I still tend to think it's real because of the logic of the thing , and pre-painted gray .

Here it is pre-pink paint http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3087539

Google Earth had a string of similar UP cars when you went to street view around the Niles Yard in Fremont CA (09 street view).  Looked like about a dozen old PFE (ish) reefers with house doors cut into the doors.

Can't model worth a darn, but can research like an SOB.
