This advertisement showing an "LW" gondola - clearly an SP subsidiary - led me to find this information online. It appears to be a standing project of the "Wiki Project" (disclaimer

I figure the best way to date this photo is to asked when the NYC did away with their S prefix? Sure appears the closest hopper's number starts with an S? The hopper in front of it is a panel side. A

The car definitely received a running board. (I have another photo.) The car is especially interesting because it is a superstructure built on a FLAT CAR underframe. Whitehead &

I don't know much about UP tank cars but these appear to be rebuilds (old tank on a new underframe?). It's just a guess, but they are 4-course tanks and have the

I just had a friend call me and he has been given an Intermountain O Scale reefer kit to assemble. It is factory painted BREX. The kit has no instruction sheet(s). Does anyone have any of these reefer

The IR did so some interchange with the Monon south of Greencastle where its cars would be given to the Monon for delivery to the very nearby cement works. These cars would be immediately returned to
