Now we know how farmers got those old box cars home to use as storage sheds. :-) On 10/11/2022 1:23 PM, Bob Weston via groups.io wrote: Early Intermodal? --

Easy peasy for any house mover.

The underframe makes moving the car *heaps* easier than moving a building, unless it's something on the order of a Dymaxion deployment unit: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_deployment_unit> -- The thong is ended but the malady lingers on |

The CB&Q bodies I've inspected locally, all sold from the shop in Aurora, had the entire underframe removed, leaving the floor intact, and had lengths of used bridge timbers fitted between the side sills for support. Made the car lighter to haul, wile leaving the railroad most of the scrap steel. Dennis Storzek |
