Bet that the carmen had a fun time changing out the offending
wheelset! I'm sure that the usual railway luck held out, and that the
bad journal was on one of the trucks of a car near the middle of the load.

An interesting model to build, for sure.

I do have a photo showing cables though. The ERIE carried a

shipment of undersea cables to the New

York Harbor, all in those high-side gons. The cable was laid in

each gon, end to end, and looped

from one to the next, no breaks. A big sign on the side about how

these ten gons were carrying a

continuous cable some thirty miles long (number selected for this

post, may not be accurate). But,

the photo shows the shipment on a siding, because one of the cars in

the middle of the cut has. . .

Somebody's day was truly ruined.
