Photo: Breeding & Show Cattle In An Express Reefer
Photo: Breeding & Show Cattle In An Express Reefer Photo from the Savor Snoqualmie Valley website: https://savorsnoqualmievalley.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/train1-1024x814.jpg The doors are missing. The car appears to have passenger car trucks. The photo is from an article on Carnation Farms, which states: “The foundation herd cultivated by Carnation became breeding stock the world over. This meant that across the world, dairy farmers were able to get more milk from fewer cows leading to more stable food security, reduced labor needs (fewer cows mean fewer four-times-per-day milkings), and decreased footprint and environmental impact per gallon of milk. The legacy Carnation cows can be seen in dairy bloodlines across the world, to this day.” Bob Chaparro Moderator Railway Bull Shippers Group

A few reefers unloading produce in Chicago
Andy Carlson
This 10 wheeler truck, thought by some at first to be a cab over, has interesting wheel combinations. I suspect that it was built as a 6 wheeler, with Dayton spoked wheels, with an additional rear axle with 4 Budd wheels added later. Maybe a war-time modification? -Andy Carlson Ojai CA

Re: A few reefers unloading produce in Chicago
Scott, i think the cabover truck is not? Looks to me like a regular truck with a van parked beyond it facing the camera. Is that what you were looking at? Or did I miss seeing the truck you are referring to? Doug Paasch

RPM Collinsville
I to managed to pick a couple kits from the F&C booth and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the one piece bodies, bought Chad Boaz’s M-58 parts set for a 50’ B&O kit bash and Fenton showed me his wonderful built of the car. I’d swore off buying any 50’ cars but it looks like a fun built and K4 makes the decal set. I had to visit Pierre a couple times to stock up on his detail parts. I hadn’t been to RPM in four years so it was good to catch up with old friends (Clark) and meet face to face with those I’d only contacted through the .io group (Bill Pardee and Fenton Wells). The room was larger and the display tables were more spread out and I believe more tables were available. One attendee thought there was 900+ models on display. Bill Stauss, who I worked with on the Mopac in 1977-78, found me at the MPHS table. I hadn’t see him since he’d quit and went to work for a shortline and Amtrak. Am sure he was thinking ‘Charlie’s certainly changed the last 45 years!’ Bill written several Morning Sun books on CNW and Milwaukee passenger trains. Steve Hile was taking photos so I assume we’ll see some images in the next week or so of the models.
