| Ex-B&M car on a CP freight in London, Ont. April 22, 2016. Some neat weathering for a well used car. |
Welcome, follow along with George Dutka in his journal which documents the additions and future thoughts for the HO scale White River Division model railroad and to his continuing historical New England railroad research. The White River Division is now in its 17th modeler's season. The "modeler's season" runs from November to April each year. Inspiration comes from the Boston and Maine, Rutland and Central Vermont Railway during the 1950's with additional posts by Don Janes and Peter Mumby.
Pretty cool to see BM Blue in 2016. I did some quick internet research and found these to be Railcar Leasing Specialists owned cars (AMIX and AEQX reporting marks). Apparently B&M purchase October 1980, 5200 series, 3000 cf capacity. Looks like a PS-2 style, built by Portec Rail. Must have been sold in last few years as many pictures from 2012 and earlier still show them still as BM reporting marks and original numbers. Seem to have held up well for 36 year old cars!
