view of heavy duty flat ERIE 7206 with transformer loads
Yeah, Claus, some of us might, like me. Interesting photo that probably would benefit from Photoshop, which I don’t currently have. I model the ERIE, you understand. Schuyler

Another dry ice car
Wotta Door! On CINX 5050. Any clues on the colors of D.I.C.X. 190 ? And is that a Mathieson car? Unusual to have the reporting letters and the number on the same line between the lines above and below

Earliest Color Photo of US Freight Cars?
Agreed, PNW. Didn’t see the tank cars ‘til I downloaded the TIFF. Makes things a lot clearer, locos become obvious,, as does the design of the rolling stock. Notice the string of short boards across t

Seriously?? I beg to differ. The white is too complete over the ENTIRE car. I mean, I could believe that if the sides were seriously covered with dust or “product” of some kind, but the ends AND the r

Interesting photo Ed. I am moved to observe that the freight equipment doesn’t look, in terms of coloration, much different than 40 years later in the US. Schuyler

Photo: N&W Livestock Car 33000
Interesting, I guess it could be my monitor, but at 32.5” I (apparently mistakenly) thought it was showing things in accurate proportion. Schuyler

Note that when you click on the image for a larger view, the proportions of the car are different. Longer, less tall. The original image (I assume) is distorted. BTW, can anyone make out the BLT date?

Ho scale barbed wire along ROW
Yeah, got that, but the “Click to start” suggests that there’s a video or something. You can get to the “Products” without the “Click to start.” So I’m wondering what the video might show us. Schuyler

Can someone id this model?
Another possible series is ERIE 97400-97499..The attached photo isn’t included in that range. Again, the diagram’s roof looks nothing like a rectangular panel roof. Most ERIE end door cars were 50’. W

Well, not a BAD guess, Rich, close but no cigar, so far anyway I have a diagram of ERIE 97250-97399, a 40 tone double door box with end doors, but the roof drawing doesn’t look like a rectangular pane
