Hi Bob,
An interesting car and an interesting railway. Looks like the photo was taken with a few years of 1901. Anyone have any thoughts as the location and the structure behind the car?

I’m only guessing, but think Ledgerwood car - the winch portion.

Since when does an early Lidgerwood become a "flat car"? These things were around for years to unload ballast from ballast cars with sides that opened though I yet to figure out how it was done on curves. A cable was wound onto the drum on the right and pulled a plow down through a string of cars to unload them. The Rutland had one for years and the B&M may have had one at one time as the Rutland sold the B&M some ballast cars of the type used and bought 100 new ballast cars to replace them. Though no longer headquartered in NYC Lidgerwood is stilll around. Cordially, Don Valentine |
