Brilliant series of pictures, but in the last two the picture is soooo... wrong. Paint is way too shiny, looks to be the wrong shade and not even subtle weathering. How unrealistic! |

The grease and dirt build up from leaking solid wheel bearings is impressive!

In regards to the swing motion trucks, yes that photo is part of the series for the rebuilding. I have added another truck photo from this series as well as an end view of the 200005.

Was this type of truck replaced by the T-section truck with coil springs?On these cars? Maybe, but hard to say from the photo evidence, since we lack a "before" shot showing the cars on their trucks. One photo shows boxcar bodies loaded on flatcars interspersed with other flatcars carrying T-section trucks. Does this mean the car bodies and trucks were shipped to PC&F like this? Do we even know whether the archbar truck photo belongs with this project? Jack Mullen |

In September 1920 Pacific Car & Foundry had a contract to rebuild 500 Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound wood box cars. Here are the cars being rebuilt along with completed CM&StP No . 200560. Pacific Northwest Railroad Archive Collection.
