Thanks for that partial list Tony, that is more than I knew before. If you run across the rest of the names I would love to have them. I have a scan of p. 19 of White's reefer book because of the

Ouch! That is bad news, indeed! Gene Green

Thanks Don. It's nice to know at least one person knows how to read group descriptions. The "box cars" group was created at a time when Yahoo was very restrictive on storage space for photos,

Man, that is so cool! The N&W track making a curved road crossing on the Cleveland Ave bridge above the yard. Neat! David in Orlando
