----- Original Message -----
From: "Anthony Thompson" <thompson@...> On the Sunshine reweigh symbol decal sheet for "Northeastern" railroads, the NYC reweigh symbols include COL. This symbol, however, is not on the spreadsheet we've been using for reweighs. Can someone tell me what COL indicates? I immediately thought "Colinwood" but the spread sheet shows that symbol as EC. No COL symbol on the NYC list I have: http://www.canadasouthern.com/caso/images/shop-codes-1954.pdf Terry Link Bramalea, Ontario, Canada www.canadasouthern.com

Re: More NYC Consists uploaded
Larry Sexton
Does anyone know of a reasonably accurate drawing for the Armour (ARLX) wood
side reefers that were in service from the 1920s-50s? I know of the 1950s drawings of the truss-rod wood reefer in the August 1987 issue of Model Railroader, but for some reason I think I've seen a drawing for the 11000 series of Armour wood reefers with the side metal tabs connecting to the cross-members.

Re: Index of freight car photos in Car Builders' Cycs
Aley, Jeff A
Gene,
First of all, I commend you on your tremendous effort! To your question: I would prefer UP (OSL) - in general, I would tend to search for the parent road, and would therefore prefer to find all of the parent road's listings together. Regards, -Jeff From: STMFC@... [mailto:STMFC@...] On Behalf Of Gene Sent: Saturday, June 04, 2011 1:50 PM To: STMFC@... Subject: [STMFC] Index of freight car photos in Car Builders' Cycs To whom it may concern: I am about finished indexing all the freight car photos in my CBC collection from 1906 to 1953. Some proofreading still required. Before I sold my 1957 and 1961 CBCs I indexed them. 1957 looks incomplete but I can no longer check that. To the extent the information on the car is legible or is in the caption the following will be included YEAR (of Cyc) PAGE REPORTING MARKS (Initials) NUMBER of car AAR Mechanical Designation RRs own class as applicable and legible DATE BUILT BUILDER When completed I will post an announcement and an offer to share but until then I have some questions. Under reporting marks which would be more useful? OSL (UP) or UP (OSL) I-GN (MP) or MP (I-GN) In both cases the subsidiary's initials are the reporting marks but parent road's paint and herald appear on car. Would it be more useful to combine the CBC index with that for the RP Cycs or leave them separate? Would it be useful to anyone if Train Shed Cycs were also included. Train Shed Cycs duplicate part of what is in the Car Builders' Cycs but not all. I assume from some postings that some folks have Train Shed Cycs to which they refer but do not have actual CBCs. I could also include passenger car photos. I know, should be on a different list. If passenger car photos were included in same database as freight car photos would that make the database more difficult to use. Please direct your opinions straight to me at bierglaeser at yahoo dot com. Gene Green

This one has been modernized along the way, with AB Brakes and cast sideframe trucks, but otherwise looks much as it was originally built. Based upon the "R" and "D" letters stencilled on the side, which are both standard CN practice (the "R" denoting "R"estricted to CN Lines, and the "D" for Authorized for "D"ismantlement), and the number scrawled on the frame above the truck (406368?) I believe this to be a former CN car (if the car number is indeed 406368, that would make it the former Canadian Northern 88736, built by National Steel Car in 1/1919, original series 88000-89998 even #'s, later CN 406000-406999).
