I will try and keep that door issue in mind as I look thru this stuff. Errors: Yes, they are made. 2394, the sill step file, has one page with a modification that says they corrected the drawing to match what was on the car. New files: 65227 tells you how to convert a flat car to a TOFC ramp. Would think that a competent B&B man could figure that one out in his head. 66006 thru 66008 tells you how to convert box cars to tie flats and scrap cars without wasting the original steel ends. A penny saved is a penny earned and the GN did have quite a collection of box cars. Another comment: Looked carefully at the equipment inventory and could find no sign that any of the 31000-31499 series had been converted into anything else. A NOTE TO ALL: Other than on this group my name has no connection in any way with ANY of the files. If you wish to publish or give anything to a manufacturer then CONTACT ME FIRST. I will allow it but I will want to give you another name and know where it is going. Russ ----- Original Message -----

I have several GN diagram books and in preparing book I used information from original source materail like diagram books, AFE files, maintenance records, plans, etc. I noticed inconsistencies between the documents regarding definitions of some details. Granted, not all of this documentation was available for every car series and there were situations where information was not complete. The Camel door issue is one where the definition appears to be inconsistent between company documents. In the GN diagram books and on some GN company car plans what appears to be youngstown door is referenced as a Camel door? Scott Thompson |
