Talked with the son of Ron (Ron's Books) in setting up for a train show. He said they had every issue of RPC except 2 and 3. I am going to be leaving early tomorrow morning, about 6:30 EST, but if

Charlie, While the CB&Q did not seem interested in express reefers they did use a lot of REX equipment. The Railway Express Agency was also one of the duties, (and benefits), of many of the

Can think of a couple obvious places that the SOO could profitably utilize express reefers. They would be Duluth and Vancouver BC. In both cases it would be loading fish. I know there was fish

Folks, I'm hoping to clean up and area and start to build detailed frt cats for my 1955-62 era layout. Could someone tell me what detail parts I should have in stock such as grab irons, stirrups and

On the subject of REA Express Reefers.... I am struck by the absence of some major roads having REA Express Reefers..... For example, the CB&Q. Other roads operating in similar territory had them...
