I note with interest the three factories in northern California, Salinas, ~Oakland, and Tracy/Los Banos. Yet Calif. is not a producer of the materials (take a look at all those cukes from Michigan!),

Actually, the railroads paid PFE by the mile for use of the cars (and also paid them for icing). The shipper paid according the tariff to the delivering railroad, which then distributed shares to the

Schuyler , the diagonal paneled roof was in place by the early 1950's. If Speedwitch is unable to find a roof for you, this is what I did to create his pattern assuming you accept Fenton's offer of

This is very interesting. My mother's family is from Joliet, and her brother had a large setup in the basement (back in the old Silver Streak days). I have been accumulating EJ&E freight for a new

Peter I have a few more photos of SLSX cars, most from the 71000 series. Also the 3600 you have and a couple from the 72000 series. All have the letterboard, so I would suspect the board is missing in

The through truss bridge, at MP 36.4, in the photo spans the I and M canal old turning basin adjacent to the Des Plaines River. There are two main tracks that cross that bridge; our Bridge Dept.

Thanks, Fenton, for a) remembering this email of mine, more than two months later, and b) the offer to share your stock of “stuff.” I’d love to have the roof to make that kit complete, but I

I did a search on Swift stock cars (and SLSX) on the group site...Ed Mines asked a question looking for an article and I found several postings and topics with mention of photos, but that's it. I'm

Did you ever find a roof for this car? I have an extra flat steel roof(PRR X 29 style) let me know if you need it Fenton On Wed, Apr 29, 2020 at 6:06 PM Schuyler Larrabee via groups.io
