Company Sand Service: I don't recall seeing this prototype before. It appears to have small roof hatches for loading. http://tinyurl.com/j8xkxx8 The re-weigh date looks like something "54". Were these

It must be an RR-10, built in May 1931. Some of the RR-10s were modified into RR-17 and RR-26 by adding more insulation inside, but externally they would have appeared virtually the same. Some

The Barriger Library in St. Louis has quite a few ORERs. I don't know how they feel about making copies, but 15 years ago they were out on the shelf and anyone who visited could lug one over to a

Good morning, Mike, A list of all ORER volumes so far found between 1890 and 1917 on google books is provided in the files section under the file name "ORER 1893-1917 Google Books.xlsx". There are

Obviously one of the Santa Fe's 50 foot wood sheathed reefers, but can anyone identify it's original class? It appears to be in mofw (company) service now and they usually were reclassified into a

I have a vague recollection of those days. Well, actually a sharp recollection. And it wasn't that long ago. When I went to the CSRM library a few years back they wouldn't copy ORERs that they didn't

Not sure what is going on with Atlas but I do have a "order acknowledgement", but haven't got email from them yet. I guess they can still cancel my order as I have not seen a CC

I was finally able to get the discount. The charge of $83 was about 1/3 the price of the selected items. Suddenly, a $10 kit becomes $13.33....... Once again, I passed. -Andy Carlson Ojai CA

Weird. I tried with FOUR box cars and got $22 as the lowest shippingcharge. No thanks. I don't see how you could get 6 Pullmans into an express mail package for$7. I ship stuff by USPS all the time
