The exact same cars, with the same car numbers, appear as RGOX cars in the 1936 tariff, and as ROX cars in the 1955 edition. These were cars 201, 203-210, 226-240. These were (very likely) all 10-kgal

Guys; Absolutely agree. Mis-routing was more common than many folks think. I stumbled across stacks of correspondence trying to find out where cars disappeared. Sometimes it was intentional, like the

Disappointment, yes and no. Yes about not lettering a car in Andy's colorful livery. No in that I have insight into tank car traffic for my layout. Richfield Oil had a tank farm served by the Santa Fe

Well done Chris, good looking cars

Multiscale Digital also makes the finest scale model (my opinion) of the GE Turboencabulator that has ever been produced!

Thanks to Ed Hawkins and everyone who chimed in with this interesting puzzle. Just to summarize what has been said: 1. Ed provides an airtight indentification. Bravo! 2. I checked all my SP resources

Flat Car Deck: What Color? I have a Tangent Scale Models HO scale GSC sixty-foot flatcar. The car is supposed to be a Santa Fe Class Ft-7. It has a build date of 4-56 which is perfect as I model 1956.
