New use for old boxcars.

Spotted this pair of cunningly disguised boxcars and caboose, ideal use for those old Athearn bluebox cars. Mind you if you're backing up a truck to that dock........

That's a cool little scene, any idea where abouts it is? Would love to check it out on google maps and get a feel for the wider area

Obviously this is what daft had in mind when looking for future use of Pacer stock

I was going to nominate Track 29 in Yakima WA, where a row of Boxcars had been converted to small stores (the last time we visited one was a Hot Wheels collectors store). However a recent Google earth look showed only a parking lot and a search showed it being "dismantled" 

 

I'll post a proper photo later, although a mechanical grab in action might make a reasonable cameo...

More Track 29 in Yakima WA.

It is quite common to see old boxcars used as sheds on farms near railroad lines.  There are quite a few USRA double sheathed cars still hanging out as storage sheds.

Old reefers are used as coolers at stores that sell beer.  A decade ago I found an old wood PFE reefer used as a storage cooler at a beer distributor near the yard in N Platte but its gone now.

I would love to have an old caboose as a man cave.
