Delaware & Hudson 50ft Boxcars


Tonight I worked on some D&H repaints of GreatNortherner's freeware 50-foot boxcars. These will be seen on the Delaware & Hudson segment of my Central Vermont Champlain Division Route and can be run appropriately on many routes currently available for Train Simulator 2015. 

Although I live far from the former-Delaware & Hudson system, I have actually seen quite a few of these boxcars in person. When Guilford Rail Service famously took over the Delaware & Hudson (albeit briefly) in the 1980s, many of these boxcars made their way up the New Hampshire Mainline to the Concord, NH area, where they were carried in freight service by the New England Southern Railroad. Even today a few battered, overgrown and rusted examples survive in the Concord area and up the White Mountain Branch, serving today as storage.
