Great shot of a Conrail boxcar matching the model on my TV stand!!

That second boxcar is rather unique also as it appears to be one of the "quicky re-stencil" ex-Penn Central cars that was transferred to the Fonda, Johnstown & Gloversville (FJ&G) RR in upstate NY. As I recall, PC owed FJ&G a fair amount of money for some reason and worked out an agreement to pay the debt in boxcars. FJ&G re-stenciled the cars with their reporting mark, keeping the PC number, and operated them in interchange service. A group of these cars stood on the FJ&G interchange siding in Fonda, NY for several years and were readily visible from passing Amtrak trains.
