M&St L boxcar, 2526-left side
Title:  M&St L boxcar, 2526-left side
Description:  I couldn't get the "system" to accept this photo, so here goes with "Plan B". Minneapolis and St Louis boxcar 2526 was waiting for its next destination in the former C&O yard in Huntington, WV in May 1978. Date is approximate. I took this photo with a Kodak 126 and didn't realize till after the print was developed that I didn't get the whole car in the photo (this was one of the first, if not the first, rail car photo I ever took!). So, I took another of the other side of the boxcar door (same side, of course!).
