Re: Photo: Leveling The Grain:
Dennis here is an early photo of a boxcar being loaded with grain, clearly showing a ladder leaning against the grain door for checking the load. I know I’ve seen a photo of the type of ladder you described, just can’t locate it.

I believe it was John Pryke. The series was collected in a book was called "Building City Scenery" by Kalmbach.

Any guesses as to what is in the covered Gondolas?
That's a pretty interesting cover. Scott McDonald

Someone (John Pryor) had a series of articles in MR on modeling the Union Connecting many years ago.That series of articles got me really interested rail/marine/Urban operations. The book is still available from Kalmbach.

Mel,
The name on the locomotive cab is "Union Freight".
From Wikipedia: "The Union Freight Railroad was a freight-only railroad connecting the railroads coming into the north and south sides of downtown Boston, Massachusetts. Almost its entire length was along Atlantic Avenue and Commercial Street. "
That same article has a roster that shows Union Freight owning 5 GE 44 ton locomotives (nos. 1-5) acquired in 1953.
The locomotive in the "another view" picture has a "2" or "3" under the railroad name. I think it is "3".

Thanks Gerald, good link ! Check out the strange "collar" around the brake rod fulcrum and the Universal brake wheel on this refrigerator car. The collar is news to me - I never saw one before. https://www.flickr.com/photos/cityofbostonarchives/6082762538/in/album-72157623424559329/ Tim O'Connor

I have used it and I am pleased with the results I used a red automobile primer as a base coat. Tru-color needs a good primer. Paul Doggett. England 🏴
