Re: Salt Tank Cars

Hi Ted, You wrote: “Are these cars longer than 40 foot?” I thought so too. Assuming an 8’ wheelbase for the trucks, it lookslike a 50’ car, or perhaps longer, but isn’t 1926 a bit early

Re: 1927 ORER

Quite sure about the purchase of 35 - 8000 gallon cars in1927 and the LINX reporting marks appear to have been associated only withLincoln Oil Refining in 1927, or shortly after. The ORER's that I

Re: NYS&W 400 series PS1 Boxcars

John are you saying LNE PS-1s in total weren’t used in interchange or just the BX ones? I have photos of them on the Pennsylvania Middle Division. I’m at work so I can’t check the pics for

Re: NYS&W 400 series PS1 Boxcars

Ed: That sounds semi-logical since LNE picked up 8 PS-1s after their initial order of 300 from PS (in 1956, I believe). However, 5 of the PS1s left the Susquehanna ORER roster BEFORE January 1954
