Tim and friends,
What I didn't see mentioned in this thread (or missed) is the coding on and below the strip. Did this indicate the make and model of vehicle for which these racks were configured, or

I'll be the Epson contrarian and report I use an HP Scanjet G4050. It has the full set of apertures and you can make your own for odd sized negatives. The more important part to me is the software. I

Re: Photo: WFEX Reefer 67899(1951)
Interesting series of cars. Has square-corner 4-4 ends, looks almost exactly like the PFE R-40-10. (Or, the Intermountain model). I'm sure there are people on this list who already know this, but

Re: automobile boxcars
Here is a better view of the white stripe on an SP XMR car repainted in 1958. This car also has the 'combination' roof
for stowage of the interior automobile rack.

I have had good experience with Pacific Imaging Powerslide 5000. It scans up to 5000 dpi and 4800 bit conversion. The best feature for scanning large numbers of slides using magazines like a slide
