Comments on: Something a little different. Rolling stock being moved around the yard and out front of the station it was interesting to see three of the ONR’s prominent paint schemes all lined together, including the very short lived “Progressive” scheme on the far left.

The zig zag theme will always be my favourite, but the design nerd in me admires the creativity of the Progress logo.

Is ONT 2556 for real? Door on one side?

Despite being short lived, they sure painted a lot of freight cars with that paint scheme! Great catch with all the 3 paint schemes side by side!

Interesting, the blue zig zag has no door on this side (or hatches on the visible roof). Those journal bearing trucks on the other 2, especially for 1998, gives me the idea that these 3 box’s are land locked to the ONR. For company service will be my guess. You Ontario guys will have the better knowledge.
