Picture help - LONG GON!

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Nobody's playing photoshop.  That car is real, and I found another picture.  It's a photocopy from a magazine dated January 1967.  The only hint at which magazine is M.RR.  Someone gave me the photocopy years ago, so I can only guess that means Model Railroader, although Trains is a more likely candidate.
The car number is 912050.  The reporting marks in my photocopy are TTX, though they appear to be JTTX in the posted picture.  It is described as a 90 foot gondola "used to move aircraft parts from Alcoa's Lafayette, IN, Works to Boeing in Seattle, over N&W, UP, and Pacific Coast RR."
The car has a cover in the photocopy, which is not present in the color photo.  It is an F89PH or F89FH class flat car, built in either 1965 or 1966, based on what data I can make out.  It appears to be the same paint scheme, minus the ACI label and wheel dot.

      Looks like some kind of gondola body, with the 1964 lettering scheme. Problem is, my 1973 Equipment Guide lists the flats, but doesn't say anything about the racks fastened to them. And I can't read the reporting marks on this car.    Jim Nichols

        This was brought up on another list and I am really interested in finding out more on this car.  It appears to be a TTX 89 FT flat with and interesting attachment from the N&W.  Here is the link to the picture.
