Hi Bob and List Members,
A wonderful photo of a PRR class GR composite gon. Note this car class was
built with drop ends, and the dropped end nearest the camera does not look too
good! Still lettered in early style center bar lettering, and also archbar
trucks. Note the outside stake pockets, some of which were recently in use by
all appearances.
Undated image, but perhaps an automobile historian could tell us something
about the date based in the lovely vehicle in the background.
Note that the dimensional lumber at the lumberyard (at right) was stacked
before the common use of forklifts - there are no spacers in the stacks of
lumber to use as an entry point for the fork.
The string of mostly 36ft cars in the background is fun to look at as well!
The obligatory NP boxcar is indeed present. I note the INTERCOLONIAL boxcar on
the left, when did that lettering go away?

I see a 13 in the weigh date stencil area of the LVAN panel.
Intercolonial was folded into the Canadian National in 1918.
