Re: Photo: Heavy Duty Milwaukee Road Flat Car 601051
Tony, couple of possibilities. The yard in Vancouver is not identified. Walter Frost took pictures in various yards belonging to CN, CP, and GN. If this is a CP yard, the load could have traveled

Mark Vaughan decal listing
I now have a complete listing of the Mark Vaughan decals we now own. We’re not a business. We just want to share decals that were off the market. Below is the final listing with 1990s pricing. Happy

Re: Another HD flat CB&Q
The load looks to be 1/2 half of a hot or cold steel rolling mill stand. Two castings are shown making one stand of a steel rolling mill. The screw down machinery on top of the stand is added later.

VERY cool!
Growing up in Pittsburgh, you were besieged by the cacophony of noise, air pollutants, and smells you would never get away with now.

Re: Another HD flat
I have seen others like this, that were for creating things like large mill rolls, flywheels, and such. They didn't use regular molds for these ingots, but made up special breakable molds, once

Re: Another HD flat
It says it’s an ingot, but it looks rough, like concrete. And why the asymmetric shape?

Would a large load like this have been included in a regular train, or would it have required it’s own engine and caboose?

Their symmetry also suggests something to do with a very large magnet.

Re: [Non-DoD Source] Re: [RealSTMFC] Another HD flat CB&Q
Just a guess, but I’m slightly familiar with these machines … my dad worked for Ring Screw Works in Detroit. He took me there a few times to see where he worked. They had a bunch of cold-headers,

Re: Gondolas converted into TOFC cars
The CB&Q converted some composite 40’ gons to TOFC service and they were quite unsuccessful. The Burlington Route Historical Society has a “data sheet” (#12) that has a photo.

Re: Gondolas converted into TOFC cars
Tim,
Thank you for the R. I. Gondola TOFC Cars. I am guessing that the car you built was from a Tichey war emergency car. Looks very good.
Thanks for the pictures

Re: Photo: Heavy Duty Milwaukee Road Flat Car 601051
What route did this take to get to Vancouver? If it went MILW all the way then crossing the border at Sumas, Wa is the only option. Hard time seeing this being the case. Pulp digester makes more sense

Gondolas converted into TOFC cars
:Does anyone have information on Gondolas that were converted into TOFC cars, or pictures, from the early 1950's.. I want to build some, but cannot find information, or pictures.
