  • ATSF Furniture Car 7176
    ATSF Furniture Car 7176 This piece of Oklahoma Railway Museum’s rolling stock has had an interesting history. It was originally built in 1928 by the General American Transportation Corporation for the ATSF (Santa Fe) Railroad. It was constructed as a double-door, 50-foot, Class Fe-S (furniture car) with a wooden body, steel underframe and ends. In 1941, the car was modified into a Class Fe-22 by the Santa Fe Railroad in their shops at Topeka, Kansas. This rebuild utilized the frame, trucks and some other parts of the original car. However, the wood sides were replaced with steel and one-inch thick interior wood lining. It was rated with a capacity of 50 tons loaded in 4927 cubic feet of interior space. Although listed by Santa Fe as a furniture car, it was set up to haul trucks, automobiles, farm equipment and heavy machinery. Hence, at the ORM, it is often referred to as an auto boxcar. The car was equipped with tie-down chains in floor, mounted storage tubes and other interior components to load and secure the vehicles. Another unique aspect of the rebuild was the opening end doors which provided full- width access to the inside of the car for easy loading. The auto boxcar was painted in what was called the “Map Scheme.” As it sounds, it had a large straight-line Santa Fe system map on one side of the boxcar. The slogan of one of Santa Fe’s crack passenger trains was painted on the other side: in the case of this car, “The Route of El Capitan, Only All Coach Chicago-Los Angeles Streamliner.” The as-built paint colors were a mineral brown body and ends, black roof and underbody, with white lettering.

It was built from 1933 to 1937 and connects San Francisco and the Marina Peninsula County. For years San Francisco Bay had to be crossed by ferries before the bridge was built. There weren’t enough ferries, so they started building the 2,727-metre-long bridge, which is now one of the longest suspension bridges in the world. When the miners came to San Francisco during the gold rush, San Francisco harbour got the name “Golden Gate”, so the bridge was given this name too. First the engineer, the German American Joseph Strauss, wanted to paint the bridge grey.

  • History: Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois
    History: Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois Girl Scouting in Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois began in 1917 when the region’s first troops formed in Iowa City and Burlington, Iowa. The movement grew quickly with an additional troop in Iowa City and new troops in Aledo and Rock Island, Illinois, within three years. The women who launched the Girl Scout movement in eastern Iowa and western Illinois were pioneers. Mae Phipps, Nell Edgar, Mrs. P.C. Hildreth, Mrs. Frank Krack, and Annette Christiaansen are a few of the many who believed in Juliette Gordon Low’s vision. Today we are 19,000 girls and 5,000 adults strong because of the women who stepped forward a century ago to take the lead. GSEIWI Historical Timeline 1910s 1917 First troops in region organize in Iowa City and Burlington with Mae Phipps at the helm. 1919 Second troop organizes in Iowa City with Mrs. George Maresh as the Girl Scout commissioner. 1920s Troops launch in Aledo and Rock Island, with the help from the Women’s Club. National 1920 membership exceeds 50,000. The second local Council is formed. 1923 The first troop in Galesburg, Illinois, starts with Nell Edgar. 1924 Troops in Maquoketa and Fairfield, Iowa, begin with Mrs. P.C. Hildreth in Fairfield. The first troop in Geneseo, Illinois, starts when girls go to the library to find information about a 1925 girls’ club and the librarian suggests Girl Scouts. National membership tops 100,000. Mrs. Frank Keck is the leader for the first troop in Davenport, Iowa, which becomes eighty-five girls 1926 strong.
