Re: Oscar Mayer Freight Car taken in 1931
I can’t answer that question. My interests focused on what cars came in and out of a slaughter house, and what did they contain or what was their function, mostly so I could fill out waybills.

Re: NYC 19000 series caboose color
NJI published a few color books on NYC and NH cabooses in color. There are a number of color pictures in the Morning Sun books on NYC Passenger and Freight cars. I’m sure there are scads of color

Re: Oscar Mayer Freight Car taken in 1931
So I guess this leads to the next question: if you wash out all that lanolin, presumably the left over urine/lanolin also has industrial value?
Does that go to a rendering plant? Or fertilizer

Re: Oscar Mayer Freight Car taken in 1931
You don’t think it’s washed several times in the process of making the sweater? Have you smelled pig urine when buying said sweaters? Likely not.
Thanks!

Another good reason to wash/dry clean newly purchased wool clothing before wearing it.

Re: Oscar Mayer Freight Car taken in 1931
Oh you will regret. A prime use for hog urine was cleaning lanolin from raw wool. Think of that the next time you wear a wool sweater. It is also used in fertilizer.
Most blood was dried before

Re: Oscar Mayer Freight Car taken in 1931
OK, much as wonder if I will regret it, I have to ask: what was the market for blood, and what was the market for hogs urine? I have packing plants on the line I model, bt have no insight about this

Re: Transformers and Runner to Skagit River Railway Powerhouse
Hi Richard,
Thanks for the great images.
The one depressed center flat car road number GE 40001, shown broadside on one of the photos, was a 90-ton car. I don't know the year it was built, but

Re: Oscar Mayer Freight Car taken in 1931
Claus thank you. You are correct that is a Decker tank car, used for various fats, like lard, and for blood and hog urine. The tank cars were gone by the early 30s, replaced by leased units.
You cite

Re: Oscar Mayer Freight Car taken in 1931
Sure is odd that the streaks caused by removing the original lettering for retouching just happen to coincide with the new lettering.
What are the odds?

Re: Lifting A Flat Car (Undated)
The only crane operation I’ve seen (the crane, not the operation) was on the East Broad Top where they were switching between Std. Gauge and Narrow Gauge trucks. Presumably not the case here.

Re: NYC 19000 series caboose color
Dave,
Having lived in New York State for many years, and having modeled the New York Central for a while, my recollection is that the NYC freight car color was toward the brown side of the spectrum.

Re: Photo: Lifting A Flat Car (Undated)
The crane looks new; the track it runs on certainly looks like it was just installed. The flatcar appears to be loaded with something, maybe flat steel plate. I'd hazard a guess that this is the test

My first thought was the modeler had glued the load on . . . 😊
But I agree, it’s a promotional image.
