I was inspired by two things -- one was your post about tank cars and another was the fact that I had a backlog of shots from my brother that I was looking to share in some sort of thematic post. I aim to try capturing more mundane shots this year.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917230984518214781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-48786638498744087782016-02-27T10:29:41.389-05:002016-02-27T10:29:41.389-05:00This is the Year of Photographing the Blisteringly...This is the Year of Photographing the Blisteringly Mundane on Trackside Treasure, and now on the Beachburg Sub. Mundane is often associated with boring, but this is simply not true. If we bypass photographing the mundane, we'll look back years later on nothing...rolling-stock wise at least.<br /><br />The Procor car has the CAER Canadian Chemical Producers logo - a safety awareness and response initiative. <br /><br />The ex-B&M car is likely in roofing granule service out of CN Belleville of CP Havelock heading for the US. The first time I observed these cars in Belleville yard I was like, whoa and they were like, well, as your photo shows. Throwback Everyday!<br /><br />The carbon black car is what I call an airslide, since the particles are so small they have to be removed carefully or everything turns black!<br /><br />When it comes to the Family Lines and MEC cars, well, I remember them when they were pristine, so can't comment there without implicating myself chronologically!<br /><br />Seriously, great collection and thanks for honouring the unsung heroes of every train - the cars! <br /><br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-74532972115537121412016-02-25T15:17:16.403-05:002016-02-25T15:17:16.403-05:00Thanks for the comments Steve.

It would be fun to see your collection of interesting rolling stock or fallen flags in the future.

So nice.<br /><br />I like the Seaboard System cars, and really, any fallen flag is pretty good to spot. I should do a post too :)<br /><br />The Boston & Maine was quite a simple yet bold scheme. Just to nitpick, Guilford acquired the B&M, I believe, and eventually Guilford became Pan Am.Canadian Train Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525092107895665275noreply@blogger.com
