I was toying around with different photo filters, trying to save this over exposed shot of the 1967 Reefer Jacket. Part from giving the jacket a much lighter blue than it has in reality it also exposed peculiar pink stains!!
These can't be seen with the naked eye (see previous photo). Odd isn't it? It's like one of those crime shows when the labb discovers blood stains with the help of infrared light or whatnot.
What have Sindy been up to I wonder? Bumped into an 80s rouged up Barbie? Outbursts of spontaneous pink mildew? Has she be been crayoned by the feral Blythe children?
Will we ever know?
Not likely.
jump!

In strange and one time occurrence New Hampshire Northcoast Railroad GP38-2 3823 (EMD blt. Sept. 1978 as CR 8242) leads an MBTA train set all tripped eastbound on Main 2 at about MP 3.8 on the MBTA's ex Boston and Maine Eastern Route mainline. They have just passed the intermediate signals at East Everett and are about to cross Second Avenue and then enter the town of Chelsea. The NHN geep had been dropped off early in the morning by Pan Am train DOBO and a Keolis crew capped control car 1628 on the 1061 set. While it is fun to imagine this in revenue service the purpose is to test the newly installed ACSES on the 3823 along the Eastern Route mainline.
In 2020 I've come to expect the unexpected and despite only two days left in the year this is just yet another example!
Note: for those interested in history the trackage at left was once the eastern end of the Conrail system as that was once part of the Boston and Albany Ralroad's Grand Junction Branch to East Boston. Cut back here by Conrail it continued in use by CSXT local B721 until a couple years ago when Pan Am assumed their Boston area work and this trackage is still used regularly by local BO1 as a runaround when switching cars into the Coke Works. Off to the left is the vast New England Produce Market once a hugely important railroad customer that now only gets a handful of reefers a week.

The Bahamian reefer ships: Summer Meadow and Summer Flower lay-up in King Harry Reach, River Fal, Cornwall. (Stern view from a canoe in the water) - 23.08.15
Astute tracing, planning and execution by Steven Welch provides this shot of the Z perishables descending the east slope of Donner Pass at Andover with Donner Lake in the background. Speedboats were already whizzing around the water even at this time of the morning and Truckee was a madhouse. But man is the weather better than winter!
