Re: That Shorpy freight shed photo...

Lots of valuable STMFC info can be gleaned from Delano's Chicago area Kodachromes as well as his other railroad subjects. I've been trying to catalog a list of reporting marks and numbers for future reference.

I check back on the Shorpy site often since he has been adding material from other photographers of that era that are not part of the LOC archives.

There is so much else to see in this photo, which IMHO deserves a thread of its own. I like the piecemeal replacement of the running boards on the Pennsy boxcar in the lower left of the photo.

There literally is something for every STMFC modeller in many of Delano's photos. What a treasure trove they are!
