There are photographs of 2 1/2 ton CCKW trucks being loaded/unloaded through the side door of automobile cars. 2 1/2 ton trucks and 1/4 ton trucks (jeeps) probably accounted for more US military vehic

This list shows 9760 assigned to the Pennsylvania. Other sources say 9900. The ORER for October 1944 apparently shows more than the 9760 still running. Where were the other 140? Jim Gates

Copy into Word. Replace all multiple spaces with single spaces. Replace spaces with commas or tab. Paste Special into Excel. I used Libre office which is a little harder, but still fairly quick. Edit

Tanks are M4A3 (76) W (HVSS). Which means 1945. Flats belong to US Army Transportation Corps. Probably taken in France, possibly just after the tanks were unloaded from a ship. Jim Gates

Earl Saunders, who was once a member of the model railroad club in Little Rock, used Argenta & Toad Suck Ferry for his home road. And lettered freight cars for the same. Jim Gates

Fairly certain the people from Monroe, Arkansas would also disagree with you about the "correct" pronunciation. Jim Gates

Note that SFRD 2500-2510 only had two sets of vents towards the B end on the left side. And in a photograph of SFRD 2500 in the mechanical refrigerator book it looks like the slogans were applied on t

Since this was an over trimmed post, I'm guessing you are referring to the photograph of the 0-6-0T locomotives. The only model identification I have seen is specification T.1531. 1290 was built by Da

Locomotives to Russia in WWII (actually into 1946): 90 S160 2-8-0 to Russia 50 S162 2-8-0 to Russia 60 S166 2-8-0 to Russia 10 Porter 0-4-0T to Russia 20 Porter 0-6-0T to Russia 15 Porter narrow gauge

The white one appears to be a Train Miniature stock no 8073, part of the car spotter's series. Later released as stock no 2264. I believe the prototype actually had the doors down at the end of the si

They were not there yesterday, they are now. Jim Gates

Somebody 12252? Pretty sure the number is correct. Jim Gates

The January 1952 Condensed Table of Union Tank Car Company Cars lists at least two series of 6500 gallon V cars, not including the narrow gauge cars. Jim Gates

C&O 19000-19499 ACF lot 4740A built 4-57 had 4-3R ends and 9 foot doors. So they would be a good guess. There were some Western Maryland cars with 8 foot doors but they had welded 12 panel sides. Jim

The last Bx-12's in revenue service were in 1974. So certainly AB brakes. I believe most of the received steel sheathing. Jim Gates

This is a very poor resolution photograph: https://www.flickr.com/photos/barrigerlibrary/12293485546/in/photostream/ But is that part of a Missouri & North Arkansas boxcar on the right? Jim Gates

A photo with a lot of early freight cars: https://digital.denverlibrary.org/digital/collection/p15330coll21/id/9552 Enlarges enough to read many of the numbers. Jim Gates

Is that an odd load, or an expedient extended side? Jim Gates
