I'm about finished building that old kit. PIA! According to the instruction history and the RP Cyc on rebuilt DS cars all were equipped with AB brakes and Ajax hand brakes when rebuilt.

This one is in the same collection. I can’t read the reporting marks, but the closeup will show the blocking and the use of wire to hold the vehicles on the flat.

Regarding use in the USA, I don’t have a good handle on the traffic flows, but very broadly speaking, I think the gons might have had use moving minerals (coal or more valuable) from the BC Kootenay area mine region into US customers. So Spokane wouldn’t be a long shot for that sort of traffic given its proximity to central BC. Rob

Re: what type of car is this?

Definitely some kind of boxcar that was converted to a covered hopper. Could be used for anything from concrete to coke. -Bob

Late 40's to mid 50's military rail movements
Robert G P
Hello all, I would like to model very accurately a few cars -probably loaded flats- carrying military equipment appropriate to my era. I have seen a lot of US Army boxcars or whatever and such but have never witnessed these in manifest freights. Basically what my question is, what did military (non complete train and non troop) movements in this era look like? The flats would've been road owned surely? How likely is it that a DOD or U.S Army/Navy/AF lettered car of any type would be loaded and sent out with about 4 or 5 flats with crates and vehicles? And yes I know the cheap US Army lettered stuff is practically as un-prototypical as it gets, F.Y.I... And that most prototypical US Army stuff was meant for movements on their own property like the Transportation Corps. Thank you much, Bob

With the roof hatches and side dumping, I’d say wood chips.

Re: SBIX 9232 vinegar tank Portland OR
For a modeler, the pictures show cars that existed at a point in time and maybe the extent of weathering. I wish they were better resolution to allow inspection of the car details.
Thanks CJ for posting Gene Deimling
