Your comment about SeaTrain attempting to become a container carrier after going bankrupt is misleading as they were a container carrier with four huge ships that I personally know of. I worked for th

Stupid comment I'm sure, but I didn't realize Puerto Rico had a rail system.

Anyone have pix of this ACL car? I suppose it would've been posted already tho if someone had it. davo in Orlando

It was previously commented on that the rectangular lifting platform might fit into the rectangular cut in the floor below and I certainly believe that. If you look closely, you can see that two rails

When I was a kid, many years ago, my uncle owned a Massey-Ferguson dealership. Their motto was, "We'll stand behind all of our equipment except the manure spreader." Davo in Orlando

Sorry Marty; gettin' old ain't for sissies. david

Several or many years ago, MR (?) featured an article about this little yard with an accompanying track plan. This photo was in the article. Can't remember the year or issue; only the molasses tank. D

Nice job on the 1950s roster. Had no ideal how few railroads owned tank cars. Davo in Orlando

I too have done many drawing on the board using plastic lead and ink on mylar and many using CAD for the DoN. I have to tell you, I much prefer the product done using CAD. Line thicknesses could be ch

I too went to Casey Clark's Keene's on G Place when I was a kid. I just saw the ad in an old MR from 1957. I had very limited money and the only thing I could afford was some of the AHM military stuff

I caught a fish this big!

Last week on the IO group OScaleYardsale a guy was selling these same decals in 1-48th. They should work perfectly on your HO bulk tanks. davo in Orlando

When I was stationed in Norfolk in the early 70s and would head home to NC, I'd take US13 through Suffolk and would sometimes take the alternate and turn left on Factory St. I always thought it was so

Sub bulkheads for 585 up through 688 classes would've been 33 feet in diameter and even larger with the newer ones. They would've been fabricated in the building yards along with the frames. See attac

I stand corrected. A faulty memory to be sure. A lady at Habley responded to my question and corrected the picture caption, but said, there was/is a hydrogen cyanide plant at that Dupont plant in Memp

Notice the picture caption says Hydrogen Cyanide. Seriously doubt that since the guy on the tanker has no respiratory protection. It was a hydrogen cyanide disaster at a Union Carbide plant that kille

What I think is cool about this photo is something I've never seen. The towers at the left across the tracks from the ship to which the ships rigging has been attached to allow a further reach for the

Agreed, on rolling stock I don't think the herald was ever used on any freight car or MOW equipment, but was used on observation car placards. It was used on diesel engines from onset of cab units and
