Hi all, I've just uploaded a photo into 'Unknown freight car' album in the Photos section (subject to moderator approval).
This has been the subject of some discussion on the Ma&Pa Yahoo group but with no success. I (and we) would be interested in any light which this group's knowledgeable members can throw on the subject. I apologise for the poor quality but this is the best we have.
It would appear that a southbound passenger train has arrived at the Baltimore terminal and that 0-6-0 #30 is drawing part of the train back to the enginehouse so that the train engine can follow it in due course for servicing and turning.
However, the freight car behind #30 cannot be identified by those expert on the railroad. In particular the 2 horizontal ribs on the door appear strange. One theory is that it could be a milk car or reefer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Des Norman
