doug: thanks for the background, since the cars have a different scheme, my question is, dud cudahy ever have a scheme, that had "old dutch" on one side of the car, and the."cudahy" on the other side

Old Dutch Cleanser was a trademark of the Cudahy company (Cudahy Bros of Wisconsin was a different company). And their meat reefers carried the Old Dutch Cleanser logo. Attached is a photo of a Cudahy

thats a rarity, to find three "old dutch"/ cudahy in the same yard, hooked together, unless there was a plant close by?, always wonder if the "old dutch"/cudahy was a foobie? ;-) mel perry

I like the tank cars. One Texaco, two Sinclair, and a three-compartment car.

While we were very poor at the time, I actually lived in a house on the hill in the background, not inside the hill its self. I recall a steam switcher working near here in 1946 or 1947 when Dad

I would suggest that is a Boston & Albany RR flat (Framingham is on the B&A) -- Ken Akerboom

Schuyler; Can’t fault that reasoning! Pittsburghers have always loved their Hershey bars! Too bad we don’t have earlier and later photos of them unloading the car into a dray……

We discussed this photo at some length four years ago -- see message 144771. The B&M had 6 of these 60-ft, 30-ton flat cars in 1919. Down to one by 6/27, gone by 7/28. -- Dave Parker Swall Meadows,
