Re: [Non-DoD Source] [RealSTMFC] Rails and Hoists for Spools of Rayon
Gatwood, Elden J SAD
Group; To add:
Here is an example of the PRR’s “silk” car fleet. Not lost on me is the car number, right next to a rayon car number of 1964.
Note the interior dedicated racking equipment. The obvious overhead rail is how the racks were slid into the channel for following movement in-car. I am not sure how and if these were modified for rayon shipment.
This is one of the cars recommended to Tangent for inclusion in their offering: early X31A with transverse reservoir and early end arrangement.
During WW2, the silk cars would be moving to parachute manufacturers for the war effort.

Tom;
I am the one who provided that research, but have been unable to verify who generated the loads, or a photo that shows stenciling for routing.
I suspect these may be re-purposed “silk” cars, but have not put in the time to examine various ORERs for car numbers.
For 1964:
Yet another research project….

Of course, Stanley was and is located in Connecticut, so a New Haven box car would be more likely . . .

Good example, and the railroad serving Stanley would have wanted to provide good service, thus possibly a Grade A home-road box car. But that yardmaster, having a Stanley request for an empty to, say, Seattle, would be looking at his western-road empties -- or midwestern roads, so the load could be routed via them. He almost certainly wouldn't use a New England road car if his railroad interchanged with that road, because he could send it home directly via the nearest interchange. Of course, in boom times, cars were in short supply and you would use ANY car you could find.

Oil companies merged, bought each other, and bought and sold refineries. I would like to see a list of active refineries and their brands circa 1950. Skelly at one time had a refinery in El Dorado, KS, just north of the Oklahoma line on the Santa Fe. Tulsa, Arkansas City (ar Kansas City) and Bartlesville were all big refinery towns in northern Oklahoma.

I see two Skelgas and at least three other (one being a UTLX), what look like ICC-105-300’s, almost certainly in compressed gas service. Is there a production area in the vicinity?

Re: Apparently, Boston & Maine boxcars made it to Florida
Back in the day New England was a hotbed of manufacturing and textile mills. Think Stanley tools for example. These items were shipped all over the country. And they were shipped in boxcars, most likely New England road boxcars.

Quite true. But to stimulate RJ's imagination, a couple of possibilities are specialty mechanical equipment of some kind, made only by a manufacturer in New England, or specialty paper made only in a New England paper mill. Richard Townsend Lincoln City, OR
-----Original Message----- A B&M boxcar in Seattle or LA doesn’t mean the contents were from an industry on the B&M.
Boxcars were quite free roaming as has been discussed on the list for years. Brian J. Carlson

Re: Apparently, Boston & Maine boxcars made it to Florida

I have Conductors lists from 1954 on the Sierra and a B&M 74195 came unto the Sierra at Oakdale Ca. 5-28-54 from the SP out of Stockton Ca Empty. So I don't know what load brought it to the SP. The Sierra sent the car back to the SP on 6-2-54 loaded with lumber for Armory Mass. B&M 74195 series 74000-74499 PS-1 9-47 lot 5877 7' 7P Sup1 door. So you can see that these cars went everywhere and you could add one to your RR. Al Smith Sonora CA

They may have been WWII photos, but can't recall for sure. You're assuming they were loaded by the home road and sent to the West Coast. More likely they were loaded SOMEWHERE in the U.S. and sent there. For example, the car in Seattle might have come from LA or Houston. Car Service Rules would not encourage westward movements of those cars, of course, but after WW II, the AAR surveys found that only about 2/3 of car movements were in accord with those Rules, so there is a lot of scope for "exceptions," though they really are not even exceptions.
