Hi Folks,

 

               I think it is reasonable (and responsible) that Brian let us know about his Covid (since he was at a major RPM event).  And I won’t be unhappy if I see well-wishes show up here on the list (though we prefer them to be sent to Brian directly.  But all other messages, medical advice, etc., should be sent to Brian OFF LIST. 

 

Thanks for your cooperation!

 

And Brian, I do hope you recover soon w/ no lasting effects.

yep... but I didn't mention Vit D.  BTW mage doses long term can mess with your other metals, so be sure to inform you doc on everything you are taking.  Even the "paprika" or whatever your neighbor is giving you.

Still encourage you to get the rtPCR test to confirm.  I'm sure you are in touch (by phone) with your primary, so don't consider this medical advice, but for non rx, as about Zinc and vit B3.  Zn lozenges are a cheap and somewhat effective way to keep your oral cavity ZN+ saturated, rendering ingested or emitted virons less efficient to attach.  Lot of nutter stuff out there with crappy data, but zn does helps at the margin.   Take that from an ol' viral vector bioengineer.  For treatment advice, obviously your doctor.  But tech questions?  drop me a note.  Viruses are kinda my thing.

be well.  advise you not to go out but rather have tests (and take out) come to you (or in no contact car pick up).  If you share a living space, advise use of quality masks at home (non vented N95 or k95) and separation.  Absolutely sucks.  You might think everyone is already infected, but still viral load is key and you don't want to add insult to injury.  

 

If confirmed positive via rtPCR, you may wish to inform others early symptoms are dry persistent non productive cough, generalize achy muscle pain and fatigue.  Diarrhea in 10-15% -  those who pick up via oral route.  Loss of smell (which in some is more noticeable as taste disturbance) is far more indicative of infection than fever - which is actually rather uncommon and seems associated with a possible coinfection with another virus

CDC: None of the authorized and recommended COVID-19 vaccines cause you to test positive on viral tests, which are used to see if you have a current infection.

If your body develops an immune response to vaccination, which is the goal, you may test positive on some antibody tests. Antibody tests indicate you had a previous infection and that you may have some level of protection against the virus.

 

So far, my symptoms have bee mild, as noted above. Temperature this morning was 96ºF.

 

So, if you shook hands with me, etc., at the St Louis RPM, please keep an eye out for any symptoms you may exhibit, and take appropriate steps. I am self quarantining and wearing a mask when I have to go out.

It’s useful to remember that car cement didn’t just come in black (its original color). By WW II, it was also available in BCR.

Dennis, I agree that there seems to be a shared design here, but perhaps the lineage runs the other way. If my memory serves, all of the steel 50' Pfaudler cars were built postwar. The reefer in question and the similar (phase 2?) near copies built a couple years later were prewar, 1930-40 I think.
Jack,

Something piqued my memory, but I can't find a citation, that there was a prewar batch of steel bodied Pfaudler cars, IIRC 40' cars, that had the same roof and formed steel side plate, but a more conventional underframe with structural steel side sills, to which the side sheets were riveted in the same fashion as the X29 and ARA variant. I suspect the use of the same pressing for a side sill of the high insulated reefers saved a lot of weight, partially making up for the increased weight of the deeper car posts, and also made their attachment easier.

I'd sure like a copy too please.  I'll be running Flying A tank cars from the Associated Oil dock in Seattle on my currently under construction layout.

Does anyone have a clear photo or drawing of the Flying A logo on the end of the tank in this photo?  I am in particular looking for the lettering below the FLYINBG A.

To address the question as written, I did a number of online searches and could not find any photo of a bulk tank at a local dealer that would indicate what would typically under the logo, much less a Flying A operation.
Plenty of photos of the logo and some associated slogans but nothing that answers the question asked.

It’s useful to remember that car cement didn’t just come in black (its original color). By WW II, it was also available in BCR.

I know from what I have seen,  the Santa Fe did not paint their running boards and laterals, at least on the steel ones.
IIRC from an article on Santa Fe cabooses, wood running boards were pre-painted freight car color before being applied over car cement roofs.

If you google "Associated Flying A Oil Company logo" you will come up with dozens of examples... although I'm not certain any one of these matches the oil tanks in the original post
