Re: (Not A Freight Car) Slanted Loading Dock
Well that photo certainly makes clear the amount of pitch of the loading dock. Look at the piles of boxes on the dock, and how out of plumb they are sitting.
Now that we can see the whole arrangement,

Steve,
Pullman Lot 5457 was for 50 cars, SRIX 101-150. A side-view builder photo of SRIX 101, built 10-29, was published on p. 191 of the 1931 Car Builders’ Cyclopedia. Drawings also appear on pages

Re: (Not A Freight Car) Slanted Loading Dock
Thanks for your notes, Dennis. The photo angle and lighting made it difficult to see the truss rod details, even after some Photoshop massaging. I did notice the bolts below the coupler striker but

Re: SRIX Refrigerator Cars
There is at least one photo available. They had a short life span though as they were sold to the MDT and rebuilt into regular reefers.

SRIX Refrigerator Cars
Apparently Safety Car Heating and Lighting operated a small fleet of Safety Refrigeration reefers with SRIX marks in the 1930's. Has anyone seen a photo of such? We ran into some Pullman drawings

Re: Photo: Delivering A 1957 Chevy
My bad. I didn't know about the renumbering. The 25 cars are listed in the 1959 ORER - and they are
marked "not for interchange".
New trilevel 85 foot autoracks were delivered to TTX

Re: Photo: Delivering A 1957 Chevy
Just as aside, I agree that these should not be labeled as freight cars.
Anyone wanting more information on these CN cars should get a copy of the book auto-train, by Doug Riddell, sold by the RF&P RR

Re: Survivor CN long double deck auto carrier in California
Auto-Train added couplas (caboose end and furnishings) to the end of
two (?) of the auto racks. I've been told that it was a failed
experiment, as the slack action was too hard on the crew.

That is most likely a new American Chevy being unloaded for sale in Canada. New cars were shipped with their hub caps/wheel covers in the trunk to avoid theft. If it was an Auto Train type publicity
