Seeking photos of Royal Brake Regulators
|
Mark Heiden
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for photos of the Royal Brake Regulator as used on some Santa Fe and Burlington boxcars. The cars in question are ATSF 138700- 139199, class Bx-44, and CBQ 17000-17799, class XM-32b. I think I've found the patent drawings for the brake regulator, but I'd like some photos to see how they were installed. Thanks, Mark Heiden

I was up in Seattle last year and took some photos of a reefer (unknown type to me) at the Snoqualmy(sp?) railroad museum that has a Royal F brake regulator. I posted them in a folder in the photos section named Royal Brake Regulator but are being approved by the moderators. There are 4 photos all together. 3 showing up close shots of the device itself and mounting brackets and one of the reefer. I suppose different railroads mounted them differently but it seems to be in a fairly standard arrangement. Best regards, Tom
