See Ken Martin's two posts at the bottom of the prior page . . .


Curiouser and curiouser . . .

Anyone have access to early UPD&G or early C&S folio sheets or car rosters that give dimensions for the early standard gauge boxcars?

UPD&G 27361 looks like it might be a candidate for the class of standard gauge boxcar that later produced narrow gauge MOW outfit cars 051 and 052 (maybe 053 and 054 as well).  The car has the same double thickness upper fascia on ends and sides and the door hangers might be similar, too.

"The 1900 ORER lists SG cars as UPD&G no's."

So, Ken, what does the 1900 ORER say about standard gauge box cars numbered in the 27300's?


What will we learn here next??
