This is very interesting. My mother's family is from Joliet, and her brother had a large setup in the basement (back in the old Silver Streak days). I have been accumulating EJ&E freight for a new yard area on layout. I can see how to
model the gondola (interesting project but not so difficult?) but I am wondering about the sheets... obviously from the mills in South Chicago/Indiana once the Joliet mill shut down... but what were they for?
