Almost all shops and mail order folks will split up the 4 packs. Only thing now is I need to know what ones for my era, I know the Santa Fe didn't have any left by '41.

Those barrels contained dill pickles. Dill was added along with brine and small cucumbers to the barrels. They where then covered, rolled into a field, bung toward the top and left to ferment. Every

Todd; It was not a PRR G31, but what you said: an added PC class for rebuilt 52'6" gons with new fixed ends, after the elimination of the "LOT" system. Yes, a G33, but I cannot tell if it is a G33

Bob, This car is an AAR 1941 design from C&NW series 75201-75399, built in 1953. I suspect the end braces are a later addition. IIRC, this car was offered by Sunshine, and is

Those rebuilt gondolas were indeed exNYC (or P&LE) Greenville (lot 150-G) gondolas. Unfortunately, Terry Link has taken down his invaluable "Canada Southern" web site with NYC et al

Tim, Your observation is correct, and I noticed it too, although the photo is pretty fuzzy when you enlarge it. I once photographed a 52' gon in Port Jervis in the mid-1970s that was painted PC
