Caveats: NONE I also have to add that the beautiful flat car load appears to be a PRR F30A. Based on photos I have, the F30A frames did not arrive at the PRR shops in red paint, but what looks like grey primer. Thought you might like to know, Elden Gatwood

Additionally, the mention of steel banding not used until the 1950s is in error as well. Steel banding was used in numerous, if not the majority, of loading diagrams by the late 1920s. That includes Figure 34-A used to secure box car sides within gondolas. Regards, Guy Wilber Reno, Nevada Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE
