Tony: Almost correct it was the 999 track, which only was located in the computer. As soon as the correct location for the car was identified the car was sent to that location. Paul C.

Jim I recall a story about a pickup in Framingham Massachusetts of a cut of cars that were taken to Selkirk NY before someone realized they weren't supposed to

There is such a place as White House Station, in (then) a rural part of New Jersey. I forget if it's on the CNJ or the Lehigh Valley. Al Brown, Melbourne, Fla.

The NJI&I being a local road to me, and a potential modeling interest, I can shed a little addition insight to the traffic. The agriculture implements were likely out of Oliver Farm Implements,

OOPS

I remember former SP employee Paul Koehler telling me that at Taylor Yard in LA there was a "99" track where you put cars with problems such as missing paperwork. He remembered a depressed-center flat

All- Isn’t this discussion a month (actually 23 days) early??? Being so light, what would happen if it was run on a layout in a basement pressurized to avoid having to have the llally columns

John, given how recently (for your modeling) the Rio Grande sale to Richfield occurred, you could certainly "patch" a Rio Grande Oil paint scheme for ROX reporting marks and number. Tony

A while back I purchased a Deep Rock Tangent tank car by mistake. Yes. I make my share of them because it keeps life interesting. I thought about putting this critter up for sale. But then I got to

Gary, Interesting data for a rather obscure railway. I've always been intrigued by the rather grandiously-named New Jersey, Indiana & Illinois. The line was actually built by the Singer Sewing Machine

Jim; Good observations! I just thought some “entertainment” was in order: bad order cars, hot boxes, “flat” wheels (bang bang bang), shifted loads, mis-routed cars, the fun never

With a shipping weight of only 213 pounds I doubt that a flat car was required. I did notice that dimensions were not given in the handbook data … so … the Turboencabulator might be a large item

Elden, And why would you expect your operators to be any less human than the guys on the 1-1 RRs. *G* Your operators probably said "If Elden put it in the train it must need to be delivered

In my youth U commuted with a Pennsy man whose job was to locate missing or misrouted cars. A full time job it seemed. The worst were a pair of long missing PRR box cars he finally located in Mexico.

This brings to mind Tony Thompson's trick enabling him to run a tank car decorated for the Mutual Oil Company long after Mutual had been absorbed by Conoco. He heavily weathered the car and changed

In the late victorian era up to the early 1950s many British railways had coaches lit by Pintsche Gas. in the 1900s there were at least two crashes where the result was far worse due to the gas tanks
