Hi Al

I usually use my web server's "referring page" logs to keep track of who is
linked to me. Running those for a year or more of data (if you even had it)
would take forever, though.

However, you can get a subset of the results if you go to www.google.com and
type your old site's address in the search (leave out the http) and click
the search button. You will then be able to get options to list "sites that
contain ...", "sites that link to ..." etc.

Keep in mind that it will only return sites that are cataloged by Google.
That is pretty much every major site, but few of the tiny personal sites.
The only way you get into Google is by submitting your site (free), or by
being linked-to on a site that is already cataloged by Google.

HTH

Thanks guys! Great info.

All,

I received this note from Al Buchan this morning and knew I should pass it
along to all of you... Bruce is very active in all areas of modeling and very
strong within the PRRT&HS... I hope you will join in with us and wish Bruce
Smith God's Speed...

Now from Al...

Dear friends:

It is with much regret that I advise you that our very good friend and fellow
PRR modeler Bruce Smith is in the hospital with a pulmonary embolism. His
wife, Tami emailed me this morning about his condition. The good news is it
appears that he turned the corner yesterday afternoon and is on the road to
recovery. The bad news is he will likely be in the hospital for the next 3-5 days
(perhaps longer) and it is not very clear at all how much he will be able to do
in the coming weeks.

What a trooper he is, as he told Tami to contact me as I might be waiting for
stuff from him for TKM and he wanted me to know it would be delayed and not
sure for how long.

Please join me in praying for Bruce's rapid recovery and return to his normal
activities.

Those wishing to send him a get well card, his address is:

642 Woody Drive
Auburn, Al 36832-3400

Wow, this generated more discussion than I expected. I happen to have
the Walthers car handy and it is a wood sided car (not that that
means it is correct) and the reporting marks are GBCX 107. Other data
includes
CAPY 7000 lbs
LD LMT 80500 lbs
WT 51500 E.R. 11-33
Rebuilt 8-33 (to the right of the above data)
It Sides are painted white, ends and roof brown, Lettering on the
sides is black with a red GENESEE and red cicle around a black circle
on the right side.

After 1934, the ICC decision would not have allowed new billboard reefer paint (though existing ones were grandfathered two more years). Roger Hinman identified the Genesee lease as 1935-36. This suggests to me that the paint scheme on this model is bogus.

I am told there is another register of private/leased cars.

Yes, it's the tank car tariff. They are pretty darn scarce, but they do exist. I'm not aware of whether any of the major railroad archives own one.

Maybe someone can find it in a 30's ORER.

The 1960 and later Genesee and Wyoming cars are from a totally
different railroad.

Keep in mind this is an earlier T-M car from and era when Walthers
didn't really care about protype correctness.

However, decals were not supplied, and neither he nor I have been
able to find any. Decals for the Erie would be another
possibility, but I can't find those either! Does anybody know of
a source for any of these?

First of all, I would be <extremely> surprised if there ever was the
slightest connection between the Genesee & Wyoming RR and the
Genesee brewery. Secondly, if there is an ORER listing that
spells "Genesee" with two "s"'s, it is a <typo> that misrepresents
the word's spelling completely. I know of no legitimate regional
business entity that uses the Genesee name without spelling it
correctly.

John,

Is the spelling Genesee or Genessee since the 1968 OREO list a

Genessee &

Wyoming R.R.under the privet car owners with reporting marks of

GNW &

GNWR. There was no other information listed.

I was doing some research on tank cars used in wine service today,
and discovered that the ORER does not give specific information as to
number of compartments. The cars and car numbers are listed, and
Pounds Capacity, but that's it. Nothing in the exceptions.
I am told there is another register of private/leased cars. Does
anyone know of such a list, or a way I could get more specific
information on multi compartment wine cars owned by GATX, SHPX, CDLX,
etc. How would a customer order cars for a particular purpose from
the private car companies? Did they hand out their own internal
registers? I'm talking about early to mid fifties, here. Thanks in
advance.

Tony,



I'm not sure. I'm modeling the NYC circa 1930's Rochester, NY area and was
intrigued about this Genesee reefer on a beer reefer car web site. Any help
would be appreciated.

The November 1925, January 1938, April 1949 & April 1955 ORER's did not list any Genesee Beer reefers. Were the reefers owned by a private car line who leased reefers to Genesee? I doubt that because Genny was & is somewhat a local beer having limited distribution.

Brian,



Thanks! I knew I wasn't imagining things. Any idea where I can get one or
find the decals for it? I intend on modeling it in Z scale.
