Guy, The can hanging on SP 5 is way to clean to be used for oil. I got the name from a retired D&RGW engineer. Later the name was confirmed by Fred Picker in his book _Railroading in Texas_.

I was out of town when this interesting thread erupted. Bill Kelly's answer sounds good to me. But the contention that early cars did not have spring-loaded journal box lids is, I think, not

These hooks were called "Hot Box Cooler Hooks". They were on SP's cars built from about 1912 till around 1942 or so. They were also on UP's cars and probably other Harriman influenced cars. They are

Chet and all: The discussion on Wabash single sheath automobile box cars got me to thinking about one I photographed in the Wolcottville, Indiana Gravel Pit about 1974. A second look revealed that

Hi, A while ago, I found a page that listed various ORERs and CBCs that people owned. Anyone know where that website is? thanks Dave
