N&W MOW Green, tank cars

[NW Modeling List]

Jim L., Russ,
Thanks for the reassurance of the green tank cars. I thought I had seen them and may have photos from Stanley or Luray siding. However, I also remember seeing the gons with short vertical tanks.

>All of the black tank cars on NS today are fuel storage cars.  We have had a couple at Buckeye Yard in the past.  I use to see them also pass over the hump when I worked at that yard a few years ago.  I also have seen the green cars.  They were in the old NW camp trains.  I haven't them in a while.
