Really neat photo. Like the cab over truck in the back ground. Team tracks sure provide an opportunity for interesting cars.

As the others say a really interesting photo, can anyone deduce the year from liveries and truck types, please. |

Scott, i think the cabover truck is not? Looks to me like a regular truck with a van parked beyond it facing the camera. Is that what you were looking at? Or did I miss seeing the truck you are referring to? Doug Paasch On Sun, Jul 31, 2022, 2:24 AM Scott <repairman87@...> wrote: Really neat photo. Like the cab over truck in the back ground.

This 10 wheeler truck, thought by some at first to be a cab over, has interesting wheel combinations. I suspect that it was built as a 6 wheeler, with Dayton spoked wheels, with an additional rear axle with 4 Budd wheels added later. Maybe a war-time modification? -Andy Carlson Ojai CA

The truck bed in the left foreground looks interesting as well. It seems to have a Art Deco type of shroud on the front portion. And the canvas tarp would make a nice detail as well.

Take notice that the near most reefer on the right (upon which the photographer is standing) has the reporting mark stenciled on the roof, which I think is a Santa Fe thing. Also, for dating purposes, one of the PFE reefers in the distance has the location of the UP and SP heralds reversed, which was done after the plug door cars arrived, but I don't recall the year... In fact, it is a plug door car.

Charlie, why do you say this is Chicago, and if it is, where?
I'm not saying it's not in Chicago, but the location isn't familiar. (No I'm not claiming the ability to recognize any location in the second city. Far from that.) I traced the photo to a Morning Sun book of Erie company photos, " vol. 3, G-J". Not sure how that would fit Chicago. The caption seems to suggest that the book may have other photos of the same scene, perhaps with more information. Jack Mullen |

Dennis, certainly a string of Santa Fe reefers in the right foreground. They have the characteristic hatch orientation and vertical hatch rest.

The Santa Fe had a huge produce yard just north of Chinatown, and this ain't it. None of the lettering on the trucks is readable, or that would nail the city, at least. Dennis Storzek |

The Truck in the center appears to say 'M. J. Ammacoke' and the watermelon truck has 'Blue Goose' on the side of the bed.

Armstrong trucking Co. On the building, Regal flush produce in the nearest truck. What please me is to see an ART reefer running with PFE and Santa Fe. If we can nail the location it might allow me to run an Art reefer in a mixed reefer train on the Nickel Plate somewhere east of Chicago. |

Google shows an 'Armstrong Trucking Co. Inc.' located in Port Huron Michigan.
