Based on the repack dates, I think this film was probably taken in 1952 or early 1953. There are some interesting tank cars at 2:36. They look like a kind of GA Type 30, but I've never seen this dome

These are the cars I remember from a summer working at the Upjohn Company (pharmaceuticals) in 1965, and at paper companies in Kalamazoo. Unless your online industries include a major refinery or

Here is the only diagram I have ever seen for the AA wood cabooses: I suppose if you zoom in and look closely you can probably get what you need. The diagram is from the 1920's and is labeled

Freight cars get damaged all the time. A car inspector will do a walk through of cars and bad order any car he thinks needs to be repaired. Woe to the person who refuses him.

Gary, I don't see what you are apologizing about, but want to. What are Paul and Fenton amused by?! :-) -- Chris Barkan Champaign, IL

Good day and merry Christmas everyone, Would anyone have or know where I could find a dimensional drawing of one of Ann Arbor's three window, wood, offset cupola cabooses in the 28XX number

This one looks like Standard Tank Car construction with the end tank bands very near the heads. I see STC in the data at the right hand end data, too. UTLX bought several batches of STC cars in
