Re: Coil steel loads
Mark Vinski
Cut some styrene sheet of the proper thickness into strips of the appropriate width and roll them into coils. Use something round of the proper diameter for the center hole to roll them around.

Thanks for the correction. I was unaware of either of these SOU car types. Mike MP-Z35

"Radial roof, right?" Bit of a non-sequitur - which car are you referring to? If the B&O Class M-55H, the answer is no. Ben Hom

Nice view of SOU 300366 flat

Those are conventional wood-frame hoppers, not Seley composite cars. The closely-spaced vertical wood posts and the horizontal truss rod in the side above the "Southern" lettering are typical of late pre-steel hoppers.
The car to the left is one of Southern's handful of 1905 Common Design hoppers (possibly 285027 according to the chalk mark), SOU 285000-285149 (ex CNO&TP 19250-19399) or SOU 321000-321599 (ex AGS 14000-14599). https://exploreuk.uky.edu/catalog/xt7n8p5v9x1t_11_2 David Thompson

The bolsters are single “I” beams in the picture and double on the later Southern cars.

The 2 SOU Seley hoppers behind it are pretty nice, too. Displaying my ignorance, the apparently SOU hopper to the left has interesting lettering. WT 34000? Time to curl up on the sofa with an ORER... Mike MP-Z35 On 6/13/2019 6:12 PM, Claus Schlund

More like 1916: "SU" just means "steel underframe", and isn't really a Southern Ry. car designation (from what I can tell, they didn't have any, just engineering drawing designations which were far longer that two characters). And car 150555 here matches the later 1920s cars within a couple of inches (except inside dimensions, of course). Ray Breyer Elgin, IL

Are there good quality prints available of this? I find this an artistic image.

I noticed that the boxes/crates appeared to be strapped, presumably to reduce, um, side effects such as pilferage.

That is a magnificent picture and it really enlarges nicely; thank you for sharing, Claus. Are those “steps” on the Proctor and Gamble tank car strap en lieu of a ladder?
