Frate_Raper Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Man I get my chops busted on these fuckers........streaks,peices even a half car have been spotted or have come back buffed/stamped.I have no real beef with it it's a chance any car could catch the buff but those things get it the worst. This year was the worst I caught a half car of mine buffed BUT THE TAG.It was more the irony of painting my 100th peice over the pre-stamped car. fuckers Bitch away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEE_VING Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 king of canada lol... gaynadian national been gettin cn's since 94... they are a strange lot at best...i've seen this year, a peace roll back through from 96 and several others from like years. However, the new paint cn's seem to be becoming more and more prvailent. ive heard stories about the border crossing being an issue, but that seems to be incorrect. What i, in my humble opinion, take from it is that the lines we see most, centered in our region of the globe, that we see on a day to day and we paint as much as if more thanm others and that are pretty much local, within our quadrant of the us/canada. Seem, due to their frequencey in running and over abundancey to be buffed more than other lines. flat boxes csx,cn,bn, gvsr and up have in my experience always been hated upon for the buff by different kids across the us. However, the railbox company has been attempting to repaint it's line since the early nineties and it seems that it has had very little success at keeping them clean. in other words, paint what you get. i try to get the rare cars first, but will paint the old reliables if i have to. don't be disuaded by the buff. all cars will be buffed sooner or later. local cars seem to be buffed that much faster. peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Frate Raper, Im just curious do you know if CN is consolidating CN flats in a yard and then sending them to get repainted or are they doing the buffing as needed when the cars are in for service? Is CN actually buffing the cars or is CN contracting out work to companies that specialize in buffing cars? Thats what happened down south, Railbox had about 200 cars routed to a local CSX yard, then the railboxes made their way south of the city to a company that was contracted by railbox to repaint the cars. It sucks, luckily I walked the lines and caught some real nice gems before they were gone for good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could answer you man, All I know is that I've gotten cars that still smell of the paint and whole lines at a time.I would love to find out where they're doing it just to go bench how many I'm lossing so I can hit twice the number. I think it's a yard outside of toronto but I'm not sure cause I see the philly guys up a ton on them fresh fresh paints too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 These fresth repaints are they the new CN scheme w/ the internet address? If so I would bet their just upgrading the fleet, trying to present a good corporate image to customers and the general public by taking older cars w/ faded paint and graf, and cleaning them up a bit. As long as your catching them freshly painted or stamped I'd say kill' em! Hope this helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've always been quick to buff but they'd leave spots not buffing the whole car.Yeah they are the WWW.CN.CA cars.I still catch the odd stamped car but mostly freshies.Yeah bro I kill them:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You fellas would be VERY surpirsed at how often they get the play you deserve! I've been caught more in the u.s on flats then autoracks or anything else.I'd rather hit american lines too but begers can't be choser5s right? One night like 3 years ago when you could still trace cn by phone I called one after I got home.It was on it's way to Ohio.I don't know where you boys are at but they go down to the midwest on the reg.

Southern kid Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 To me a freshly painted car is a good thing. I got one tonight that was repainted in May of 2003. When you hit something with a fresh coat like that, it tends to run for a long time before anything happens to it. Assuming you stay off the numbers. For the record I hate CN...those damn information panels are right in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feäà m3 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Here is one for you guys. Lately over hurrr in the western hemisphere of the states I have noticed a nice trend of regular house type buff paint used in the removal process of graffiti on the freights. Now keep in mind these are lines that vary from all types, though, mostly it seems to be more popular on the GVSR Golden West cars. Now yes, I have thought of the idea that this may very well be the work of a very disgruntle writer. But they seem to have no plan or trend. Very random. Very efficient. Not going over any numbers or important shit. Has anyone else seen this. I mean, I agree... it's not too bad. I reap the just rewards and use this buffing technique for a very spiffy background. Info added would be appreciated. Holla at ya boy! WERD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some, but I have recently caught some with no clear intent of color matching. Now keep in mind, this spot gets more GVSR's than anything else, so it plays the odds of seeing them buffed.

Southern kid Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Originally posted by Vanity yeah southern... but it also sticks out a lot more to the workers.. and i think shit looks fresh on a rusty ass car Ehhh I dunno brother. I think any brand new piece stands out to workers, if you ask me. A dooder who's been in the bidness for long enough probably knows of the grime test. And rusty cars look cool but you better paint it with all rusto for the best results. I know thats not a problem for you but..yeah. ;) Ever catch old rusty cars with pieces dated the year before and you thought you caught some ish from 96? You think you know! and you kinda have an idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 What do you mean "house type buff paint", if your referring to a traincar that has been buffed w/ a color that doesn't match the original car's color, thats perfectly normal...it happens. A lot of times at railcar shops, they'll use any color paint on hand to buff, renumber, paint over repairs, etc. They'll use up anything to save on the costs, they only buy new paint when necessary. Hell you'll see a car w/ a few different colors rolling sometimes. But, I guess it is possible a writer is "buffing" other folks...GVSR's aren't too common around my way, their pretty rare.
