Along with the recent discussion on Erie Boxcars can anyone tell me if the roofwalks were painted on the Boxcars in the 78500 series? These were the 40' cars with the Viking roofs. Thank you in

Folks, Was there a posted reference or link to this IMAGE? Al Kresse

Claus- Great shot! It looks to be a Caswell….note the lower end with the slanted slot for the door opening mechanism. Charlie Vlk

Actually, this is completely right for trucks, but not for automobiles. Those WERE generally tarped when transported on flats or in gons. There are several wonderful photos of cars shipped this way

Bill Keene pondered: Very interesting. Hopefully the cars were wrapped after being loaded to protect them from the elements. Well, most likely no, Bill. These were open touring cars, very popular in

Okay, I live where we don't know how to spell "humidy". I use Zap Thin AC which comes with a Teflon tube. Since CA cures with "humidy", I don't have a problem with CA drying at the end of the Teflon

Bill, Yes, the Loctite cap appears to help to keep the tube open. I have not experienced any clogs with Loctite ACC. Regards, -Jeff

Claus, Thank you very much for the great photo. Monon freight car photos are rare from this era. BTW what I have on this series: 26000-26999, built 1913 by ACF, 40 ft, 50ton, drop bottom. A

I'll second Andy Miller's recommendation. Loctite has become my favorite superglue. - Andy
