Re: Car in Duluth photo
I thought it was lettered "C.M.Ry." at first but upon closer examination it really is "E.M.Ry" which fits in better as a GN subsidiary.
EMRy is the initials for "Eastern Railway of Minnesota" which

Re: C.I.&W RR{Cincinnati.Indianpolis &Western RR)
Hello, Joel
The B&O group on yahoo would be a great start. I recall a few years ago the B&O Historical Society had a shot in a calender of this road, steam loco with train!

Re: Car in Duluth photo
Was it a Colorado Midland car? That road was still active then and Colorado was very much an origin point for livestock. Tony Wagner

Re: Car in Duluth photo
For you folks more interested in the 1950's this goes back to the earliest days of this list.
The car being discussed is an Eastern Minnesota car. EM was part of the GN.
I have looked at my ORER's

None of the group of CB&Q conversions were separately listed in the ORERs - just part of a number block shown as "waycars" until 1907 when the designation was changed to "cabooses" - although

Re: Car in Duluth photo
I looked for the car under various reporting marks (it looks like CM RY but may not be) and couldn't find a match for the car number in the 1905 or 1919 OER.
It may be a horse stockcar.... horses are

Re: Off-Topic--Steam Era Roads
If it wasn't off topic, I would suggest looking for a copy of the 1948 Uniform Manual of Traffic Control Devices.
Also, take a look at this report on the history of highway marking:

Off-Topic--Steam Era Roads
Gentlemen,
While Mike's not looking I might be able to get away with this!
Does anyone have a reference for road/highway markings circa 1949/50? My steam era freight cars (required content)

Re: Caboose (Box Car)
Not that some of these conversions did not retain baggage / lcl facilities; but many roads' cars were simply "war emergency" conversions to get enough cars on the road to meet the upsurge in traffic
