Nice shot Bob! -I've passed by this box many times while zipping up I-25. A bit of background on this car: This boxcar is a 1937AAR type permanently parked on a long GW spur terminating at the boxcar next to the freeway out of Johnstown CO...yes, not Lodi! The spur is mostly used by the GW for car storage these days. It has been sitting there since at least the early 1990's with this 'advertisement'; and another note of interest, this is the very boxcar of which Intermountain Railway Co. used as a prototype to measure and scale thier famous line of fine scale '37 AAR 40' boxcar models from! Thx. for sharing Bob!
