Out of curiosity I dug back into my black/white print file from 1952 and find
confirmation that the cupola end of the waycar was operated forward, and in
each of the three prints (three different trains) there was a gondola car
immediately ahead of the waycar. The print dated May 2, 1952, shows a
westbound
freight in front of the Savanna depot, crewman on bottom step, in white cap,
long sleeved shirt and dark slacks, reaching to pick up orders from
bib-overall-clad operator, who's wearing a fedora. Two westbound freights, one
eastbound
freight have the short roof end forward. Jim Neubauer
