Sad to say, but it’s the past tense now. The Resin Car Works Kit 16.0 PFE WP reefers are now out of production.

Re: Photo: String Of Boxcars (Undated - 1900?)

I, and perhaps some of the other list members, have been on that line. Not only does it still exist, but parts of it are a commuter line and other parts of it carry passenger excursion service (plus lots of gravel and stone). Today's railroad also includes one end of the former SP Houston-Austin line, built by the Houston and Texas Central, which was attached to this segment some time after the balance of the H&TC line east of Giddings was abandoned.

Hi Howard,
Thanks for the additional ifo on these
cars.
There is a nice article covering the A&NW in
Mainline Modeler Aug 1999 pg58-60
Adding some additional info, the above article sez:
"The only standard gauge box cars built for the A&NW we 70 cars constructed
by Ensign in 1891. These were placed in the number series 7000-7069 and were
typical 34' 60,000 pound wood cars built at the time"
The article goes on to say "In 1915, there were 30
in revenue service, while in 1916 there were three"

I also agree.

Re: [Non-DoD Source] [RealSTMFC] Broadway Limited 6.000 gallon tank cars
Gatwood, Elden J SAD
Gary;
Maybe not so dazzling in real life, but my Hooker model is garish. I plan to knock that down considerably.
The less primary colored ones appear less bright.

Re: Broadway Limited 6.000 gallon tank cars
These mostly appear to be new numbers on schemes already run.

Thank you, Keith! I bought a print of #4500 from you about 15 years ago. It inspired the MDC conversion.

Re: Photo: Gondolas With "Large Forms" Loads (1947)
I would second the suggestion the gons contain forms for concrete work. Look like larger versions of the forms I remember using when pouring foundation walls.

Those could very well literally be 'forms' for concrete work, either for a retaining wall (dike or levee) or a large formed concrete structure. Could have been something being constructed at the time of the explosion. Texas City and the areas near Galveston have had levees for a long time, and they use concrete walls in areas where there isn't room for an earthen dike, and sometimes there was a concrete wall at the core of an earthen levee.
