SOU 525822
Title:  SOU 525822
Description:  SOU 525822 in Abilene, KS on 12-02-2012. The car number appears to be freshly applied, and the SOU appears to be spray-painted by hand to the car side.

SOU 525822, heavily painted side
Title:  SOU 525822, heavily painted side
Description:  I've never seen a paint scheme like this. This is Southern Railway (SOU) 525822, which I thought was an NCVA car. One of the folks on this list pointed out that it was in fact a Southern car--and I should have seen the "SOU 525822" painted on the end. As I couldn't find a way to change the name, I wound up deleting and re-uploading this photo. Thanks to the group member who pointed out my error. This car was in Abilene, KS on 12-02-2012.
