That should be not far from Victorville Don Ford Cameron MO

the containers look some thing like parts for airplanes or some other kind of ordnance. The Marine supply depot is far for Victorville Don Ford Cameron MO

Aha! Now I know what these look like. I think they are bundles of untreated ties ready to be put into the creosote retorts. I lived in Chattanooga when they still had a creosoting plant. Ties, line

Back in the mid 1970's I used to see this type of car at the old Pennsalt plant in Riverview MI. Most of them looked like the ones in the 1940 CBD which was my basic resource then (the Kalmbach

Plans for these cars for 15 canisters from ACF can be found on page #348 of the 1937 CarBuilders Cyclopedia with a photo on page #349 acompanying photos of the USN and USA helium cars. Cordially, Don

A nice find at the time. Your photos illustrate why a weed wacker should the next thing in ones field pack after the cameras. :-) Bob Witt

Based on the stake pocket positions and the rivets above the bolster I would say class Ft-G. Jim Gates

I saw a program on TV about such a move. The cars were chained together as well, to prevent accidental uncoupling. Thanks! -- Brian Ehni From: <main@RealSTMFC.groups.io> on behalf of

Garth- Good find! I looked on a satellite image but not knowing where to look and the probability that trees would shield them anyway didn’t see any trace of cars. A winter satellite image

For some strange reason I have been collecting information about these cars for awhile now. Here's what I have: Initial builds by ACF started in the 1920's and production lasted to just before 1950.

Good friends, Back in the late 1980s I discovered the remains of the Nelson & Albemarle Railroad, and its owner Alberene Stone Corporation in Schuyler, Virginia (the real-life Walton's Mountain of TV
