Re: inside running rail of the curve will be accompanied by an addition guard rail
A railroad wheel is solid, but with a slight slope so that the outside of the wheel is smaller in circumference than the inside by the flange. A tight corner like this pulls the wheel to the outside

Sometimes when I am looking at images of steam era freight cars on sharp curves, I will see that the inside running rail of the curve will be accompanied by an addition guard rail.

Re: NJI&I Postwar AAR Boxcar – Front Range Upgrade #1

Hi List Members,
Many months back, perhaps a year back, we were discussing cotton bales.
A nice image of one can be seen at the link below...

Add-On kits isn’t bad either. Excuse the shameless plug. Wish I could enlarge and print

Hi Bob,
I really appreciate all the photo links you are sharing from the 20’s. I will copy the billboard image from this link. Also will investigate Duke’s billboard site more.

Re: Photo: NC&St.L Boxcar 15397 (was 15337)
Hi Bob and List Members,
Upon inspection of the end reporting marks, I think this car number is actually 13397, not 15337
Thanks for the great images Bob!
