other gondola to box car rebuilds
|
Neither gons nor boxcars, but similar idea: the CPR converted 260 flat cars to auto-boxcars of the 296000-296102 and 296103 -- 296259 series; - re-building in July 1916 - February 1918, with IH: 9' 6"; IL: 40' 6". These are very old style looking double sheathed boxcars with fishbelly centre sills.

I have a bit of a writeup on them here: http://bostonandmainerailroad.redmansefarm.com/BM29000.htm Earl Tuson ------------------------------------ Posted by: "=?iso-8859-1?Q?Earl=20Tuson?=" <etuson@...> ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ Yahoo Groups Links |
