The IR did so some interchange with the Monon south of Greencastle where its cars would be given to the Monon for delivery to the very nearby cement works. These cars would be immediately returned to

Claus,
Doubtful, and certainly not by the date of this photo. It lacks proper lettering required for interchange. It also lacks an air brake hose, and no retainer valve and pipe, so it probably has

Re: Photo: SP Hi-Cube Boxcar (1955)
If I'm correctly reading the road number on the car end, it appears to be SP 615200, built by Whitehead & Kales in early 1963. These cars are treated at length in Anthony Thompson's SP Freight Cars,

This box car was the prototype for SP's

This looks to be a CN 1923 standard boxcar (CN 500500-503499, built from 1923 to 1927). A number of these cars found their way to the Quebec, North Shore & Labrador around 1960. I have no information

Re: Mystery car - WABUSH LAKE? Any ideas?
The Wabush Lake car looks like an ex CN car. The iron ore lines in Quebec pick up a lot of 2nd hand equipment from other railways.

Unfinished project from Jim Hayes
Before his passing, Jim Hayes sent me a picture of a kit he purchased from me decades ago. It is a GN 1958 built stock car, rebuilt from GN's 31000 series of 40' Z-bar Pratt truss SS box cars. GN
