Those were on a work train last Sunday through St Denis.  I like the ex FGE car in the second photo.

Poking around on Google Earth street view a while ago I caught a string of UP 60ft reefers with the regular doors blocked off and house doors added sitting in the Niles Yard.  I think that would be a fun project for work train too.
