Re: JBWX seen with "Painted Lady" ...

John, Larry, George, Ed et al -

Glad you like 'em!

The ballast train was only one of several interesting occurrences that I stumbled upon
during my 2¹/₂ weeks in Narrow Gauge Country.

I'll be posting a few more of my more than 1000 new pix over the next several days.

p.s. Over the years many railroads have acquired used equipment from other lines and repainted their new property as deemed appropriate. IMHO, these four hoppers should be painted as their new owner(s) see fit. I like the logo on private-owner (?) JBWX 1; perhaps the others should be painted in D&RGW MOW gray, but lettered to reflect their current role in C&TS work-train service.

pps. There is an error in the original post - the scandal was first mentioned in the Tiffany Tattler, not the Ignacio Inquirer.
