Flat Cars

NOKL 219907

Robb Fisher photographed NOKL 219907 at Dublin, VA on 8 June 2007. It is a brand new 'Dynastack' five unit double stack well car, built 06-07 at FreightCar America in Roanoke.

These cars from the NOKL series 7500-7549 (49 cars; 7544 missing) are in service between a site on CN/IC in Natchez, MS and two Celanese Acetate plants: the Celco plant in Narrows, VA and the Celriver plant in Rock Hill, SC.

These cars came from the Southern Pacific series SP 292612-293096 of B-70-65 class cars, which were originally EFCX 3901-4400. (EFCX was Evergreen Freight Car Corporation.) Darrell W. Sawyer has a picture and data for SP 292940 on his NorthWest Railpics site.
