Stanray was a large corporation that bought up many other businesses in the early 1960's. I worked at one such company, John Gillen & Company, in Cicero during summers of 1962 and 1963. Stanray also owned a company that manufactured boats (the name escapes me now) as well as Standard Railway Equipment Company. Eventually, Stanray spun off many of their subsidiaries to Pepsico and later IC Industries if I recall the merger, acquisition and sales history of the Gillen Company correctly.

Gene, thanks for the info...Is a "Stanray" roof a Standard Railway
Equipment Co moniker?
TIA, Clark Cone

Hi Folks,
As Dan has discovered, I posted a number of ads and a couple of magazine
articles for freight car roofs in an album in the photo section entitled
"Roofs, freight car." I have posted only those with either a photo or a
drawing and will add to it as new items become available. This replaces and
earlier, smaller group of ads in the Files section.
