The hoppers are USRA design triples, which Westerfield still makes in HO. Longacre is at the east end of Smithers (I actually have a book on Smithers). This was an area that produced good coking

Re: Southern railway flat cars

Paul, We discussed this question a couple of years ago, so it should be in the archives. Sadly, I had this discussion archives, but it somehow got blown off my computer. Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆

Re: Southern railway flat cars

Re: [Non-DoD Source] [RealSTMFC] Photos: Assorted Gondolas & Flat Cars

From the looks of the freight cars in these images, it seems the Pennsy spit-shine crew wasn’t called into action on that G22 gondola. The NYC spit-shine crews sure kept busy on some great looking
