I would not assume Ted is correct about the date in this case. I have pointed out other errors to him to in other photos. He's allowed to make an occasional mistake -- I think he's sold about 5,000

Scott, This kind of reminds me of a Barrett granules tank car that we have discussed here in the past. I'm wondering if the photo was mis-dated, or if this car was only used on one railroad for
