RailTex Paint?

Unread post by Talk »

Are there any examples of this style of "RailTex" paint still running around? If so, where are they running at?
I remember the Michigan Shore having some but those have long since gone off and been repainted...

Well thanks to your list I have discovered there is an error in the identity of HESR 2029 on the RailroadFanWiki. It has been corrected.

GSWR 3837 was apparently wrecked and scrapped.
GSWR 4029 (MVPX 4029) is now AVR 405 (Road Slug).
