Furthermore, he did not see the cars listed any longer in the December 1930 ORER. He went on to say that it looked like a Pennsylvania Railroad Builder’s photo from the D. K. Retterer Collection RF class reefer and that Al Westerfield, who had an extensive Car – Modern, shown below. But the photograph of the model PRR library, might be able to help. and others in the series appeared to show rivets or some other “RF class reefer” and “Westerfield” rang a bell. I’m a fan of type of fasteners running the length of the car just below the railroading in the 20th century’s first two decades, a span roof edge, which weren’t evident in the prototype photo from included in what Westerfied calls the golden era of railroad the Retterer collection.

  • The Long Island Railroad Milk Car Mystery SOLVED WALTER WOHLEKING
    The Long Island Railroad Milk Car Mystery SOLVED WALTER WOHLEKING Standard Steel Car Co. builder’s photo from the D. K. Retterer Collection TWO YEARS AGO, the Summer, 2007 issue of the Cannon Ball displayed this picture beneath the heading, “Know anything about this oddball?” A lot has been discovered since then, and the way in which the information was gained is a lesson in railroad research that might encourage others to learn about their favorite cars. Since the author of this article also placed the picture, its heading and its caption in that 2007 Cannon Ball, thus stirring the pot, it’s only appropriate that he be responsible for getting to the bottom of things. The story of how that came about and the contributions generously made by members of the model railroading community provides a lesson in railroad research. The knowledge gained allows a pretty good picture to be painted of the car’s origin, character- istics, length of service, and other useful things. Happily, there is a solid means of creating a very accurate model of the prototype. Here, then, is the story. The original caption under the photo referred to car #3000 as a “mystery milk car” and read, “Long Island Railroad milk car no. 3000 appears to be a reefer with the distinctive fishbelly underframe found on many cars built in the first decade of the 20th cen- tury. But is it a reefer assigned to milk service, or does it have some of the special characteristics associated with cars designed par- ticularly for milk service? ...Email or write the editor, if you have any information...” While that caption was constructive, in that it solicited information that generated responses, at least some of it might have been confusing.

  • Models B&MRR HO-Scale Freight Cars
    Boston & Maine Railroad Historical Society Incorporated File 16. B&M.RR. B&L.RR. CP.RR. Fitchburg RR. MEC.RR. NH.RR. CV.RR. HO-Scale Freight Cars, Hardware Collection Boston & Maine Freight Paint Schemes • In the 1920’s, the B&M standard was the wood sided cars (which apparently included the 1929 steel boxcars) were boxcar red. Hoppers, Gondolas and Flatcars were black, although it is not clear how this was applied to the USRA composite gondolas. Either way, lettering was white. The reporting marks were B&M. • Several variations on heralds were applied at different times. The earliest was a white rectangle with the road name in the white on a black background and a red upwards- facing arrow through the “B” and “AND”. This was used on the USRA double-sheathed cars delivered in 1919. Later a multi-color “map” herald with “Minute Man Service” lettered underneath was tried on a few years. • The 1929/30 boxes and hoppers had a simpler rectangular herald with the same “Minute Man Service” slogan. • After the 1938 change to “BM” reporting marks, the B&M only used two heralds on Hoppers, Gondolas and House cars: The earlier was the simple rectangle containing the road name, with out the slogan.
