An Ontario Northland box car Another variation on the 40′ box car model – a double-door texture. This variant is my personal favorite. A Canadian National Through Baggage box car A Burlington Route box car Here you go Willi, another Santa Fe offering Hi Chris, great work in general. And as you can imagine I love most the ATSF box car. Thanks!
As you surely know there were many variations for box cars and reefers. See description here:
Quote:In the late 1930s, SFRD (the refrigerator operating subsidiary od the AT&SF railroad) began to modernize it’s fleet of 40-foot ice bunker reefer cars. First, they began to rebuild wooden cars with new steel sides. These cars kept their deep underframes. Later SFRD bought new steel cars from AC&F.
The most distinctive thing about most of these cars was the “Billboard” lettering, applied to the sides, advertising Santa Fe’s freight and passenger services:
No slogan (the earliest rebuilt cars)
AT&SF system map with “Santa Fe, All The Way”
“Ship and Travel Santa Fe, All The Way”
“The Super Chief to California”
“El Capitain, Coach Streamliner West”
“The Grand Canyon Line”
“Ship and Travel Santa Fe, All The Way”
“Route Of The Super Chief, All Pullman Chicago-Los Angeles Streamliner”
“The Chief, All Pullman Streamliner West”
“The Grand Canyon Line”
The “Map” (pre 1947) or “Ship and Travel” slogans were used on one side of each car, with one of the train name slogans on the other.
No, no, forget it, I’m just joking
😉 . I’m surely not outrageous. But who knows, maybe you feel the urgent need to create the one or another design
Thanks again for the great work you do for us, Chris.
Santa Fe, All The Way

Hi Willi, I’m a Santa Fe fan myself having got hooked on that road after taking my first long passenger trip with them back in the ’60’s from Chicago to San Francisco and back.
I’ve considered skinning those other logos but I’m having difficulty finding the proper fonts to render them (reasonably) accurately.
Thanks again for your kind words.
Best regards, Chris

❗ 
You have skinned many box-cars and few locos from many lines.
You treated me good send me any boxcars before you post them here.
Special thanx to you
:Hi Peter, I’m glad you like the candidates for the extension pack. Hopefully they’ll all be included.
You could actually use those preview files I sent you in advance of the release of the pack if you don’t mind overwriting one of the existing box cars (same texture size). You only need to process the file from *.png to *.dds. I have to do that in order to get them into RTR for the screenshot. (I save the file I intend to overwrite with the *.bak extension beforehand.)
As far as the server is concerned, it was too much of a hassle at this point in time to try to remotely maintain a box 160 kilometers away so I decided to go with a shared hosting plan for now.
We seem to be in the midst of some dramatic hardware changes with the CPU (dual core) and video cards (SLI and now the physics card) so waiting until the dust settles seems prudent.
Best regards, Chris
