Photos of boxcars.
Spotted this car on a Geneva bound freight today.
Caught this old boxcar in an eastbound consist today near CP 304.
Sittin' on the industrial siding near CP 306 in Jordan, NY. Usually the only rolling stock you see on this siding are covered hoppers. It's even more unusual to see anything sittin' on the east end of this siding like this boxcar is.
Moving westbound along with CSX consist Q263.
This boxcar was part of the Q626 today.
Soon to be returned to the Finger Lakes RR by CSX train Y111.
It looks like this CSX boxcar has been here for a few years. And I'll be surprised if it ever moves again!
This boxcar is at the end of the Q382-22 today.
Heading east with a CSX train going over Wolf Street.
Shot through the windshield at Solvay, NY. Been sorting through old stuff trying to find photos of any Finger Lakes boxcars.

Almost back to the yard in Geneva with the "Sweep Job".
I saw this car in CSX train Q380 this morning. Typical CSX power on the train so nothing special there, but this car caught my eye. And wow; this consist was nearly 2 miles long!
Heading east with CSX train Q382.
Another case of kicking myself for not getting a good shot of the boxcar. Going north with CSX train Q621.
Going west with CSX train Q381. Been sorting through old stuff looking for shots of Finger Lakes boxcars. Found a few good ones, a few bad ones, but what really kills me is what I could have had in rolling stock roster shots if I had the wherewithal!
This is an inadvertent shot of the boxcar taken while at my daughter's lacrosse game. I'm kicking myself for not walking over for a better full-framed view.

Delaware Lackawanna???? With LBR reporting??? Definitely caught my attention. This car is in CSX yard/local train Y111, and will be handed-off to the New York, Susquehanna & Western at Solvay, NY.

Finger Lakes boxcar 26111 at Solvay yard.
I did a search on this boxcar before posting it. I thought others might be interested in knowing that it was in the finger lakes region of upstate New York. I only wish that I could explain why it's here!
This car is on former PRR track that is now part of the Ontario-Midland system based in Sodus, NY.
I've spent a few hours digging into the background on this car, and it seems like I have more questions than answers. Anyway, this box is on former PRR track that is now part of the Ontario-Midland system based in Sodus, NY.
How old is this I wonder? A box car that must have been originally owned by a port railroad on CSX train Q380.
This car was in an eastbound CSX freight.
This car was in the same eastbound CSX train as the Erie Western car.
This box car is just a little ways up the old Chrysler lead.
