The first ones I remember seeing that looked like that were 1967 or so. I think they were either NYC or P&LE. Elden Gatwood ________________________________ From: STMFC@...

From: "csxt5555" <csxt5555@yahoo. com> Can somebody shed some light on the Thrall Car 53 1/2 ft gon? These cars were welded had 14 ribs and I believe they were produced around 1960?? Was this car produced any earlier than this? Does anyone know if there was a preceeding model with the same basic design that will fit into the late steam era? Thanks Kevin
