Tim, One of the photos in the collection provides your answer. It shows a crane lifting a girder into position, with a second girder spanning two flatcars seen on the tracks below. No barges in

Sorry about that. Here ya go. https://www.facebook.com/130170407077838/photos/a.562900027138205.1073741854.130170407077838/562983493796525/?type=3&theater lots of other interesting photos of Dubuque

The following does not address your question directly however provides a transition date, though this itself is "an exception" taking in to account the prior admonishments on this list about

Tim- Could you provide a link that would take us to the photos? Searching Facebook didn’t yield them for me. Charlie Vlk Indeed the construction continued through World War II. There is a

According to the "CNJ/LV Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment" by Craig Bossler, the LVRR converted 50 quad hoppers into covered hoppers in the 50100 series. A photo of 50122 on page 81

Hello- I am again able to offer more 12 packs of Intermountain HO semi-scale code 88 wheel sets in 33" diameter. IMRC #40052. MSRP $13.95/12 pack. (12 axles is enough for 3 freight cars) My price is

For those with an interest in the 1920s and 1930srailroads and freight cars, I've updated the guide to HO scale plastic freightcar models that are appropriate for that era. There are some additions

All, Oops - Erie to NYCity was longer than the PRR to NYCity. Just for reference, a PRR drawing of competing freight lines from Chicago to NYCity lists: Via PRR To "Jersey City" - 917.7 miles Via

Or the tariff division sheet. I vaguely remember some of this from PFE Revenue accountng experience 1970-73. Every routing had a division sheet that apportioned revenue. It might correspond to

Tony, The point, of course being that if the PRR handled 3 times the amount of perishables then equal handling would indicate that it would have roughly 3 times the claims. Now, in the past, you've

All, Sorry - poor choice of words - "apples to apples" comparison is very misleading - should have written "orange to orange" comparison. I did not analyze Apple traffic, since I do not think PFE

Tony, The 1941 ICC report backs up what you are saying for several categories coming out of California - citrus, grapes especially, but not so for fresh vegetables, although I do not know if in 1941

Tim, No new math for me (too old), but perhaps cherry picking of data on your part. When I said that the tonnages per car were interesting, I had assumed that "Fresh Meat" was being moved in meat

Jack, and all, Steve Hoxie clarified it for me. Looking at Ben;s posted drawings, the inside vs outside refers to whether the visible edge of the sheets (except the end sheets) appears "inside" (i.e.

Bruce I would expect that simply because the PRR and the B&O each served most of the same territory, while the Erie missed the entire Philadelphia to Baltimore to Washington corridor, as well as

Bruce Smith wrote: Please note I never said that most perishable traffic went over the Erie. I have repeated what former PFE people told me, that they strongly and frequently urged shippers to

What Tony also fails to note is that in spite of the supposed shipper preference for the Erie, the PRR hauled vastly more perishable traffic in terms of carloads than the Erie (about 3 times

Tom, I'm not defending the terminology, but think in terms of the order in which the plates are applied. For the 1923 "in" pattern, the plate at the end goes on first, then successive overlapping

Tony, A claims agent told me a number of years ago that settlement of a particular claim would be prorated according to the division of revenue from the move. I don't know whether that instance should
