Re: stock car capacity
The K7A is a 40’ car. I put an intermountain ATSF body on the BLI frame and sound system to create a sound car that looks like ATSF. Because of the way it is constructed, I did not think it

Re: Munshaw Canada slide Canadian Pacific CPR dock yard scene
If that is the Coral Sea then it was March '60 for those dating the scene/ state of equipment. It may have said that in the description but the slide is no longer available. My dad remembers going

Re: Bobber 2 Axle caboose late usage
Chuck,
About the gondola loads, they look granular, or lumpy. Could be sugar beets? (SWAG)

Re: Bobber 2 Axle caboose late usage
I scrolled through the latest ~1000 photos in the archive to see if I had posted this before. It is an enlargement of a postcard taken at Ellensburg, WA, postmarked Feb 11, 1910, so taken slightly

Re: Bobber 2 Axle caboose late usage
I have no reason to question any of this — but I should point out that from the 1890s onward, there were many incidents around North America of horrific accidents with wood passenger cars in wrecks,

Re: A few reefers unloading produce in Chicago
PFE also did this on some ice reefers. Reporting mark and car number. You can see the "D" of SFRD in the photo.
There were also stencils on ice hatches on some reefers.

A destination produce terminal in any large city is going to have a mix of reefer owners no matter whose terminal it is.
