40ft Pratt truss single sheathed boxcar

Hi List Members,
The resolution on this image is lacking a bit, but my feeling is that the
reporting mark on this 40ft Pratt truss single sheathed boxcar might be T&NO
- does anyone have thoughts one way or the other?

I can make out the SP herald and the "T&" before the vertical rib. I would take it as a T&NO car. From: "Claus Schlund \(HGM\)" <claus@...> To: "main" <main@RealSTMFC.groups.io> Sent: Tuesday, September 1, 2020 1:26:44 PM Subject: [RealSTMFC] 40ft Pratt truss single sheathed boxcar Hi List Members,

Claus and Charles, It is a B-50-15, built for the SP subsidiary Morgan's Louisiana & Texas (ML&T) in 1925 as 53060-53559 or 1926 as 36210-36509. These were relettered to T&NO, probably around 1928, though I wasn't able to find the exact date. T&NO ended up with 800, while the SP had 3,100. Some lasted on the SP as late as 1970. The last T&NO car was retired around 1965. Yours Aye, Garth Groff On Tue, Sep 1, 2020 at 4:45 PM Charles Morrill <badlands@...> wrote:

It certainly looks like a B50-15 Paul Doggett. England 🏴 On 1 Sep 2020, at 23:40, Garth Groff and Sally Sanford <mallardlodge1000@...> wrote:

Agreed.
And that would also confirm that it was not the Temaskaming and Northern Ontario (T&NO). Michael Livingston |

well considering that it has an espee herald on the car, fair assumption that it is a t&no car ;-) mel perry |
