think I have ever seen that before. Also for scenery the old
track on the left of the photo is really a neat idea. -- Jon Miller For me time stopped in 1941 Digitrax Chief/Zephyr systems, SPROG, JMRI User NMRA Life member #2623 Member SFRH&MS

Cool photo but it’s mid-late 60’s at the earliest with EL hoppers, gothic P&LE and boxcar with the removed roofwalk. The load restraints would be different in earlier times.

Definitely a photo beyond our period given the steel I beams in the PC gon #598980. But not that the stacks of I beams have a vertical piece of scrap wood between each of them and along the sides, the purpose for which I can only wonder about except possibly to maintain that space between them for unloading purposes. But what gives with the PC car? It appears to have wood interior sheathing and fairly high sides. Then I note the rolled sheets in some sort of container devices on the two flat cars behind the I beam load. Don't know the steel industry but have never seen anything like these before. Are they something secifically designed for easy loading and unloading with a high capacity fork lift or what is their purpose? Such photos always present more questions than answers for me. Cordially, Don Valentine

The "container devices" mentioned in the previous post also seem to have remnants of guides for lowering covers on top of them.
