Re: Any special purpose for trucks?
Iain,
It isn't a Canadian car, but you might ponder Allied Chemical, ACDX 26446 a special sulfer trioxide tank car built in 1948 with type B-1. There is photo on page 20 of

I'm almost certain I recall seeing one of the Georgia rebuilds with

Re: Any special purpose for trucks?

Re: Modeling the Georgia RR's USRA Steel rebuilds: Aluminum & Black scheme
Hi Bill,
Do you have any photos you can share of the welded roof on the GA RR cars? I'd like to see them.
Disclaimer: Speculation Follows. I have a photo of the roof of a C&WC single-sheathed box

To me, the most interesting thing about this picture is the large amount of ballast piled up over the ties and crowned at the center between the tracks. I've never seen that much ballast on any other

Hi List Members,
It looks like the gon coupled to the boxcar was here moved with the drop doors open. While we are at it, the boxcar was probably moved with the door open as

Jerry, I have a scan of this photo and can send it to you off-list. I am pretty sure it was either built as a two-compartment car or was converted from a single-compartment car, judging by visible

Re: KOTX triple dome tank car converted to two dome tank.
Gerald,
The photograph you saw may have been of KOTX 8138, which I believe is a single dome tank converted to two domes, with the original dome still in the center.
I think it was on Tony Thompson's

converted to two domes, but I cannot find the url
