N&W MOW Green

[NW Modeling List]

All of the black tank cars on NS today are fuel storage cars.  We have had a couple at Buckeye Yard in the past.  I use to see them also pass over the hump when I worked at that yard a few years ago.  I also have seen the green cars.  They were in the old NW camp trains.  I haven't them in a while.

  "The MofW tank cars were black all over.  Jim Nichols"
  "Jim;
   A few years back (2003/2004) I shot a couple of company tank cars in solid green in Buena Vista, VA, 
  they had faded the same way the 2 Bay Covered Sand Hoppers have, to a light NYC/PC Jade Green. 
  Unfortunately, they are in slide boxes packed away, otherwise I'd attach them. I'll see if I can 
  dig them up over the weekend and scan them.

  Jim & Russ,
      I saw those same green tank cars. They were WATER CARS and a part of a set of camp cars for one of the gangs.
