Good Afternoon All,

Andy Laurent and I have finished three posts in our waybill series; all involve cars that have been extensively covered in the RP Cycs. So with these posts we extend a big thanks and congratulations to Ed Hawkins and Pat Wider on the publication of their 25th volume of the series.

Those interested can find a discussion of the last of the 10' IH Postwar AAR box cars (RP Cyc Volume 8) carrying empty tin cans from Chicago to Sturgeon Bay here:

one of the AMC Standard Design hoppers (RP Cyc Volume 25) carrying coal from West Virginia to Wisconsin here:

and one of the early 10' IH Postwar AAR box cars (RP Cyc Volume 8) carrying salt from Manistee to Casco here:

It was fun reading about the history, design, and construction of these cars and then seeing some specific examples of what they carried and where they went.

Regards,

Charles Hostetler
