MEC 8050 A good-looking car passes by the photogra- pher at Augusta, Maine, in April 1980. Note the color similarity to the Atlas N-scale model on the facing page. The angled loading guide painted onto the bulk- heads reflects the angled deck that tilts toward the car’s center sill. This angled floor helps keep the stack of wood on the car by leaning them into each other. — George Melvin photograph
