The boxcar. The WP&YR never had a Boxcar #772, nor one that looked like the boxcar in the photo.
Right you are Bob. The boxcar is really a D&RGW 3000 series painted up in White Pass colors. ALL of the other equipment from the engine to the caboose did spend time on the WP&Y. However, not at the same time. The problem was that the whole train besides the caboose was black. So at the request of the two guys paying for the charter, we added the red boxcar to bring some color to the train.
