Advertising Photos of Freight Car Roofs
Gene <bierglaeser@...>
Hi Folks,
As Dan has discovered, I posted a number of ads and a couple of magazine articles for freight car roofs in an album in the photo section entitled "Roofs, freight car." I have posted only those with either a photo or a drawing and will add to it as new items become available. This replaces and earlier, smaller group of ads in the Files section.

Gene, is there a way to obtain these as a single ZIP file. The Next and Previous, and many of the links themselves that Yahoo provides are all scrambled and get stuck in a loop. Thanks.

Don, I have had similar problems with Yahoo. What I do to correct is to
close the image file and start over again, which usually gets rid of the
yahoo hiccup. Last night I found I somehow missed three of the images and
had to spend some time going through the list, searching. There is a program
out there that will allow you to target and download everything in a yahoo
group directory, but I haven't tried it yet.

Stanray was a large corporation that bought up many other businesses in the early 1960's. I worked at one such company, John Gillen & Company, in Cicero during summers of 1962 and 1963. Stanray also owned a company that manufactured boats (the name escapes me now) as well as Standard Railway Equipment Company. Eventually, Stanray spun off many of their subsidiaries to Pepsico and later IC Industries if I recall the merger, acquisition and sales history of the Gillen Company correctly.

As a follow up to my last posting about Stanray, the job at John Gillen had two benefits. First, and most obvious, was the paycheck. But second was the daily parade of Zephyrs, CB&Q commuters, the NP North Coast Limited, the Great Northern Empire Builder and countless freights that moved along the triple track "runway" of the CB&Q and the slam bang of the hump yard at Cicero. All right outside the window at my work station.

Gene, thanks for the info...Is a "Stanray" roof a Standard Railway Equipment Co moniker?Yes, but it did not become so until AFTER the subject years of this list. I maintain that referring to steam-era freight car roofs as "Stanray" is an anachronism.

I remember once standing in a Jetway waiting to board the plane and spotting a small builders plate with Stanray on the edge of the end where the jetway met the side of the airplane. I said to myself "I know who they are."

Jeez! I was going to answer with a simple "yes" but Dave Sarther and Tony Thompson both provided more information than I would have given. That's the beauty of this august group; lots of knowledge.

Gene,
I would REALLY appreciate getting these in an email attachment. I have been totally lost of roof styles and your info is the best source that I have seen. Unfortunately the photos you posted are too small to see the details.
If there is any way to send these to me in groups of 10MB or less it would be greatly appreciated: allencain@...
Thanks,
Allen

Have you tried to watch the photos in the original resolution? You have to go to the photo folder where they are posted to do this. You can only see them in a lower resolution if you look in the recent photos folder.
