Claus, I can't help with your question, but I sure hope those boys have a
bunch of friends who are going to help when they roll that tank down those two timbers facing the camera. Maybe they'll have some ropes and horses on the other side to let it down real easy like.

Wasn't there a Texas Southeastern back in the Oughts?

Sure *is*: but the Texas South-Eastern's name has a hyphen in it. My guess is CTSE 30000-30499, 40' 50-ton flat, 115 cars as of 1/43. One needn't use a heavy-duty flat for that load: an empty tank is pretty light. Al Brown, Melbourne, Fla.

It appears that the letters "CT" appear just to the left of the car number, the rest obscured by one of the men, so yes, I'd say it was a Chicago Terra Haute & Southeastern car, and the photo appears to be from before the Milwaukee purchased the Southeastern. The CT&SE was the only road that I'm aware of that called itself just the "SOUTHEASTERN" on its cars. The Texas South-Eastern, which still exists as far as I know, is a paper mill shortline that has always spelled out its full name on its cars, when it bothered to do so at all. Yes, I do hope those men have given some thought to easing that pipe off that car, and not being in its path.... Murphy's Law and all. Scott Chatfield

I zoomed in on the photo and that "CT" looks much more like a "C.W..." or a "C.V..." to my eyes. John Degnan

Odds are you are correct.
If you zoom in and look where they are standing on the right, you can see reporting marks. It appears to be CT....E A check of the 1919 ORER show the CT&SE has a 40' flat series that this car number matches. Howard Garner

Now that I look at it again, it looks more like CM...E than the CW I suggested this morning. John Degnan
