It would be helpful if the girls were out of the way so we could see the second flat car. 1083 has truss rods and Bettendorf trucks while the second car appears to have the much shallower side sill that goes with a Bettendorf frame - correct?

See Doug Heitkamp's "Pipes on Flats" photo, the foreground flat is a 1902 car: The end beam detail should also be the same as the 1902 coal cars. There are some clear photos c1910-1912 in the R. Robb Pictorial VIII, pages 55 and 56 as well.  Those cars 1090 (page 55), 1094, 1088 and 1082 (page 56) show the road name on the side sill as: I         I I               I I  Colorado I I & Southern I I     1094   I I              I I         I If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion below: http://c-sn3-discussion-forum.41377.n7.nabble.com/1902-coal-car-lettering-details-tp3705p3778.html To start a new topic under C&Sn3 Discussion Forum, email [hidden email] To unsubscribe from C&Sn3 Discussion Forum, click here.
