Last week, I painted the SHABBONA RR plug door boxcars with my version of 
Boxcar Red and put them in service on the railroad. However, they are not 
lettered yet and in looking at them, I am thinking of painting the roofs and 
ends (well, the roofs, anyway) black.

I have been heavily influenced by the small Rock Island fleet of C.I.R.X. plug 
door boxcars, which were yellow with black ends and roofs. Reporting marks on 
the SHABBONA cars will be "SHRB", ala' Santa Fe's SFRB fleet of these cars.

I hope to have at least one Rock Island C.I.R.X. car spotted for loading at The 
Humongous Company on occasion. Details on the movement of rolling stock on the 
railroad beginning to take shape. More later - 

Bob Nicholson - still waiting for the "sceni-geni" to appear ___________
