Re: Can Anyone identify the gondola coupled to the MP blister sided gondola?
Claus,
I see them also. Faintly, likely due to them fully catching the sunlight, but they are there.

Re: Can Anyone identify the gondola coupled to the MP blister sided gondola?
Hi Bruce,
Given its apparent age and the 1944 date for the photo, I suspect you’re right.
Thanks for confirming my thoughts on the car type.

Ralph,
It certainly looks like CG 39623 is a ventilated boxcar, but given the light paint and dark stencil, I think that it might be in company service and not revenue

Hi Claus,
Good eye. Now that you’ve brought them to our attention, I can see them too.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what looks to be CG 39623 shown to the left of the water tower? A

Hi Gary and List Members,
If you look at the image at "Original" resolution, one can faintly (very faintly) make out the diagonals on the near half of the car. They don't show well because the angle

Re: Can Anyone identify the gondola coupled to the MP blister sided gondola?
I have noticed a lot of photographs of gondolas look like this, but I think it is some kind of illusion.
At first I thought this might be one of the taller AT&SF post Caswell gondolas, but those had

Re: Looking for more information on NRC 19220 Refrigerator Car
Looking at this car more closely, I'm pretty sure it has a Despatch style roof. Really can't tell about the ends.
I'm away from my reference material now, but there was a class of MDT reefers with

Does anyone know what became of Stan Rydarowicz's resin parts masters? I am certain
he offered parts to kitbash some of the MDT reefers.

Thank you to the couple folks who reached out in assisting with identifying the MDT NRC refrigerator car I inquired about. I think for now I will go with an Intermountain R-40-25 Refrigerator Car, as
