Re: OY Move

My only heart burn with the painting and lettering is the auxiliary water car 0472 is going to be painted red with white lettering and it was never red.

I wrote the OA-OZ book with Bob Grandt so that the C&TS and the Friends would have the history of the equipment when rebuilding the equipment.

In 1958, the Alamosa shops converted a Union Tank Line (UTLX) oil tank car to auxiliary tender service with OY. This car was numbered 0472. Previoulsy the aux water car was a tender from a T-12. These two photos were taken by Jim Ozment and the original slides are now in my collection. I thought the C&TS was about history. But I understand the rationale. Just hope you all remember this next time you bash the D&S for not lettering stuff D&RGW. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
