FBOXs
Bethlehem Steel's Johnstown Plant and later Johnstown America and Freight Car America have built thousands upon thousands of freight cars over the years, but not many of them were boxcars. In 2004 it came as a bit of surprise when an order for TTX FBOX boxcars began rolling out of the car shops where a steady parade of hoppers and flatcars normally appeared. Here Conemaugh and Black Lick 116 prepares to tie on to a cut of FBOXs that are in various states of finish in Franklin. Today just about all evidence of the car shops are gone, the bridge in the picture and the one I'm standing on are gone. The 116 hasn't been out of the Black Lick shop in at least a decade, and the FBOXs surely don't look that good anymore! Scanned from a Fuji Provia 100 slide shot with a Canon AE-1.
