Re: GTW 11/2 door Single sheathed boxcar

Guys,
For others wishing to see GTW #583699, a photo of it appeared in the 1931 Car Builders Cyclopedia on page 131. It was reprinted in the Train shed Cyclopedia #3 also. It appears to have a 3-3-3 dreadnaught end supplied at that time by Union Metal Products (which would later morphs into Standard Railway Equipment Co). I'm pretty sure I can come up with a Union Metal products ad showing this end in detail if anyone would want a scan of it off site. The car also have a lever style hand brake. It's hard to tell from the photo which brand, possibly a Klasing or Miner. Rich Burg **************New year...new news. Be the first to know what is making headlines.
