John I have never understood why ATSF listed them as 10'4" IH. Thickfloor boards, perhaps? Lower ceiling? They are listed with the same heightto the top of the running board (14'11") as C&NW box cars

Hi List Members, What type of industry is this, at the inclined ramp, being served by steam era freight cars on the C&NW? https://www.flickr.com/photos/barrigerlibrary/12294845895/sizes/o/ Claus

I am working on a presentation the will include LV boxcars and I am in need of decent photos of the following cars. Lehigh Valley XM 61000 61299 1937 AAR XM 61300 61899 1937

Ed, I have this car now and can send you a photo of the model, if you like. Tony Thompson

CNJ owned this car - I don't know if there were other owners aswell. Richard Hendrickson had one and lettered it for CRP, I think, which wasa short lived CNJ tax dodge immortalized in a Paul Newman

Also Taylor Yard had tri-color signals for the hump yard, and if youlook over the top of the box car on the right, it looks like the trees on thehill that overlooked Taylor Yard Tim O'

805 was a San Joaquin number, so 813 may be from centralCalifornia

Ed, The side stakes (ribs) appear to be spaced closer than the AAR design for these 65ft mill gondolas. I recall seeing some P&LE and perhaps NYC gondolas that also had close spacing, but I have no

I find myself with an unpainted 65 foot mill gon by Precision Scale. It is part number 15474. And is referenced as "Bethlehem Steel". I found one of these factory painted for B&O (part number

I'm guessing that the location of this photo was Ogden, Utah. That's a UP tricolor signal at the extreme left hand side of the photo. Bill Daniels San Francisco, CA On Friday, July 28, 2017

The trucks were painted "freight car red" (or oxide red) too.(Color photo of freshly painted M&StL 54000.) The running board was unpainted, exceptfor the portion that hung over the ends, which was

Hello- I have another enhanced kit to offer, this time for one of the last 400 cars built in 7-45 for the Minneapolis & Saint Louis 1937 AAR 6' door 40' box cars. M&StL 54416, was part of the 500 cars

I have a better shot of this (I'll send it offline) - although Barrigersays it is Coroapolis PA, my previous info called it Montour Junction - thetwo locations are just yards apart, so I guess they're
