Unmistakeable  Contributor's Pick!       
The heritage of this car is evident, even with new reporting marks. In the upper left corner, where the CR herald once was, is now a paint out, something I find supremely ironic on CR equipment. The road name was once lettered across the cars broad side. The real giveaway, though, is the color. The jade green can only mean one of two things: Penn Central, or if its old enough, NYC. This is a real survivor.
