There's a good builder's photo of a CGW PS-2 in an old RMJ. The car is a dark color, but the photo is b&w. Were these cars black or some oxide red color? The car body seems to match the truck

Clark, Thanks for the offer. There's a picture posted in the STMFPH files which shows two of these round cornered ends. One is on a riveted car. Is this the type of end which the CGW

Tony and list, I would appreciate some reference to the specific rule or tariff provision exempting railroads from the requirement to weigh any freight on which charges were based on weight. I've

OK, I can't resist jumping in here. The difference between roof walk versus running board and PS-0 end versus whatever we end up with after this discussion concludes is this: Running board is

Tim, Thanks for the recap on the history on the WEOX reporting marks. That gives us a leg up towards the date. Tom Olsen Newark, Delaware, 19711-7479 Tim Gilbert wrote:

Tony, The railroads have been trying to eliminate scales for most of the past century. I cannot conceive that the railroads collectively would agree to weigh tank cars post 1960 when they had refused
