Re: Gondola identification
Hi Tim,
Thanks for the lead. The O27 matches my car in appearance. Only difference is 12 ribs versus 11 on the model.

Guys;
The USRA 46'IL gons also had 12 ribs, not 11, IIRC.

Re: [Non-DoD Source] Re: [RealSTMFC] Gondola identification
Gang;
The gondola certainly is an unloved, disparaged, forlorn freight car. That is why I decided to do a book on PRR's fleet!
The PRR G34 class was a 46'IL, 11 rib/12 panel straight sidesill,

Re: Crane ID Help
What happened to the rear nameplate casting (in the ID photo, not this one)? Both Burros and Brownhoists had it.

Re: Gondola identification
The B&O had 47'1" IL TOFC flat cars (P-54) rebuilt from O-27 gondolas.
A PRR G31D is NOTHING like your description.

Re: Crane ID Help
Hello,
I believe all Burro cranes only have two axles. this crane has 4 axles. A guess would be Industrial Brownhoist.

Re: 3-3-3 ends
Speaking of 3-3-3 ends, what do folks think of the 3-3-3 separate end part that
came with the WALTHERS 50 foot single sheathed box car kits?

Hi Ron,
I looked in Thompson's SP book and did not see a match. The model does not have any drop doors.

Re: Gondola identification
Do you have a picture, or some other way we can see what you're describing? As a total shot in the dark, there was a class of SP gons at about 48' that I think were straight sides. I built a model

Hello Everyone,
Gondola's are the forgotten railroad cars. Very little had been written about them and there are so many variations.
I want to ID a mill type gon. Its inside length is 47' 6" and

Re: Erie RR Notice On Stop-Off Cars
Bruce,
I thought that was odd too; to suggest the first consignee would re-position the load. What I have seen in other sources were bulkheads made from dunnage to separate the parts of the loads and

Re: Erie RR Notice On Stop-Off Cars

A lot of people who loaded / unloaded freight in rail cars or tractor trailers in the past cared little about how it was done without
