BN had Johnstown CoalPorters in three different paint schemes. This group was painted black with the hope that the cars would stay warmer in the sun and prevent the coal load from freezing in the car. Since the bodies are aluminum, they did not require painting to prevent corrosion so this was a bit of a gamble. Did it work? Subsequent cars for BN were delivered in silver. This run will be available in singles, 3 packs, 6 packs, and 10 packs for a total of 20 different road numbers.
