Old wooden boxcar at Ottumwa, Iowa in 1982.  Contributor's Pick!       
Not uncommon at all for old boxcars to get a second life as storage. Glad I got these shots before an arsonist got to it.

Fred Stuckmann General Bunch of nut cases running around our world. Nice shots Stu. 9/10/2013 7:03:30 AM
Stu Nicholson General Yes...sad to say....but that's also why it's so important to document as much of these old structures and rolling stock. I drove by this old boxcar (storage shed) every day when I lived in Ottumwa and finally took these two shots before I left town. A couple of years later, it was gone. 9/10/2013 7:42:43 AM
