Claus, This looks to me to be a car from the Intercolonial Rwy. and I, too, believe it is one of the Dominion cars. But what is that equally interesting 1 & 1/2 door, 6 over 7 end, steel sheathed

I will third that statement. I have purchased both decals (ATSF Dyno 29) and grab iron jigs from Peter. He is excellent in both communication, and quality of product. Thanks for your efforts

This appears to be boxcar IRC 62231, one of 356 boxcars in series61973-62345 of the Intercolonial Railway of Canada. Its a long way fromits home in eastern Canada. John Riddell

Now I understand. Salt. Thanks, all! Steve Hoxie Pensacola FL

From the appearance of the grab iron attachments on the left corner, this seems like a Dominion/Fowler car design. There is also a sill step on the left side of the car end. Is this a predecessor road

Hi List Members, Can anyone identify the road name for the car whose end we see prominently in this photo? Reporting marks seem to end in RC, but there might be one or more letters before that we

I bought an ALPS 500 when they first came out, tested it once and then never used it. Should I sell it? Gene Green

One other thing I may add to this string, (even though the title remains Ice refrigerators) in a recent read of Railway Age, it notes that there were only 152 Mechanical reefers in service in 1952.

All, The list that David Turner is referring to is from SP&S Chief Engineer File SPS 8171 which was the AFE for construction of icing facilities at Portland. The list is from October 15, 1945 to

I have a stack of waybills somewhere I bought on ebay years ago and they’re all from a food chain in Boston for frozen turkeys coming from Spokane in the 50s. Some came in in highly insulated

I just grabbed them and I can feel barely any texture on the pages. It’s very, very slight and subtle. Maybe its been improved in the newer models ??? Best to ya, Mike Bauers Milwaukee, Wi

The ones I’ve seen are “thick”; you can feel the raised print when you run your fingers across the page. The technology uses wax “plugs” you feed into the machine. Thanks! -- Brian

What’s the reports on the suitability of the Xerox solid ink printers for decals??? I took them up on their offer of several sample printed pages, and the quality is a pure dream to behold. I

Okidata is now selling laser printers that print both in color and white. I know someone in the publishing business that has been closely looking at purchasing one for many purposes along doing

The amount of salt required to achieve 32 degrees usually was 30 percent by weight compared to the ice. I'm sure this kind of extreme performance in the ice bunker cars required frequent reicing. Bob
