[CBQ] Addition to Misc photo file

["gaedgar66" <vje68@hotmail.com>]

Ad from Ottumwa Box Car Loader Co (Railway Age 1920's)  The company possibly 
began as early as 1899 and apparently gone by the 1940's. Originally named for 
its founder as the 'Phillips Box Car Loader Co.' and later possibly affiliated 
with Ottumwa Iron Co. on W. 4th?  Their Loaders used @ coal mines from Missouri 
to Utah to Montana.  Plant may or may not have been on CB&Q trackage in 
Ottumwa.  These loaders were part of a CB&Q Yahoo post on the subject in 2000.  
As they were sized for 40' boxcars it's doubtful any can be found today unless 
modified to load dump trucks or semi-trailer bodies?  Anyone near Ottumwa to ck 
with local or Wapello Co. His. Soc?  Gerald
