Hi Bob and List Members,
 
I have this image on my computer hard disk, along with some extra info. This makes me think we may have discussed this image before. Here is what I have...
 
NYC 329127 40ft gon series 328000-329499 ex LSMS 51000-52499 Lot LS86 1500 1920 Rex Chain Belt Company of Milwaukee WI
 
You can get to a native resolution version of this image with the link below. Altho the built-in online viewer will allow you to blow the image up further to have more pixels, it is really just pixilating and blurring the image more and not giving you anything new...
