Re: Various Steel Industry Loads
The ends of the flats are interesting. Don't think I have ever seen that before. Also for scenery the old track on the left of the photo is really a neat idea.

Re: Various Steel Industry Loads
Cool photo but it’s mid-late 60’s at the earliest with EL hoppers, gothic P&LE and boxcar with the removed roofwalk. The load restraints would be different in earlier times.

Re: Youngstown Sheet & Tube tank car
The TKX bolsters sure look like Standard Tank designs. I wish one could see the YS&T bolsters a little more from the side: that "porthole" in the bolster is a Standard Tank spotting feature.
Al Brown,

Re: Youngstown Sheet & Tube tank car
There are several htings that stand out to me in this photo. Since the tank car is the primary reason the photo has been posted let's take it first. Were the walkways for this car designed by Rube

Re: Youngstown Sheet & Tube tank car
Bruce Smith, what class is the Pennsy #532885 boxcar seen in this photo? Is the roof slope really as flat as it appears or is it just my view of it? Also forgot to note earlier folks, not the sign on

Definitely a photo beyond our period given the steel I beams in the PC gon #598980. But not that the stacks of I beams
have a vertical piece of scrap wood between each of them and along the sides, the

Re: Youngstown Sheet & Tube tank car
To expand a little on what Steve Hile said about YS&T 110 (and TKX 700):
Standard Car (later Tank Car) Company commenced operations in April of 1916; it was the name change that dates to 1919.
