Greetings,

In flimsies there's a short article about WM performing contract work for MARC. Could someone shed more light on this? Are these cars a recent acquisition? Are these C&NW cars?

Thanks,
Gerald W. Kopiasz

They are METRA gallery cars, I assume C&NW, that MARC has leased to cover service on the Bruswick line (ex- B&O Metropolitan branch to Point of Rocks and then Old Main Line to Frederick or Old Main Line and Cumberland Division-East End to Martinsburg W.Va) and while their Sumitomo/Nippon Sharyo single-level cars go through a rebuilding program. I've been seeing them roll into town on the tail end of the eastbound Capitol Limited for the last two weeks.
