Cocoa Beach January 2019 Shake 'N Take-Southern boxcar (272500-272999)
|
We are getting down to the wire and still have not been able to locate but 4 photos of this Southern boxcar (272500-272999). I've checked the usual sources, Bob's photos, Ted Culotta and other Southern fans but haven't been able to come up with anything. If anyone has a photo they would share or knows of someone who might I'd certainly be grateful. Yes I googled as well, no joy. I'm beginning to believe that these cars were very bashful and photo shy!!!
Thanking anyone in advance, Fenton

Hi Fenton,
A partial end shot of Southern 272617 appears in Ferrell's "Slow Trains Down South, vol 1", p 269. A photo of Southern 272993 in a train appears in Staufer's "B&O Power", p 138. A builder's photo of Southern 272999 appears in the '43 Car Builders' Cyc; it's reprinted in TS CYC 17, p 139. The roof of Southern 272999 is shown in an ad in the '43 Cyc; it's reprinted in TS CYC 75, p 401. This is a different picture from the one just mentioned. How similar are these to Southern 272000-272499? I see they share an ORER listing. Best regards, Al Brown, Melbourne, Fla.

Al, they are right on. Don't have those books. If you could scan them and email them I would greatly appreciate your help. Looking forward to seeing you in Cocoa and happy new year Fenton
