Was rummaging thru an 1898 Official Equipment Register and gleaned the
following for those of you who model the real "old" days or want something
in a junk yard or sitting on the ground as a storage "building" decades
later:
There were 3 hearse cars (modified 30' box cars) #10000-10002
There were also 2 special box cars (dimensions not given) modified for gun
powder - #1 & 2
Stock cars included "Palace", horse and double deck.
Among the coal cars (gons) were 2 for Harvey Iron Co. - #80501 & 80502
Reefers included Ayers, Keystone, Hamilton, Wickes, Zimmerman & Tiffany
models and 6 "Baggage & Fruit" cars #40015-40020
One passenger car was listed in "freight" as was a grain car fitted with
bunks = #2733 (a box car number series)
Box cars - the following 34' in the 18000-21505 and 25000-28521 were also
lettered for R. T. Davis Milling Co. of St. Joe, MO: #18040, 18946, 20095,
20192, 20195, 20317, 25973 to 26002 inclusive - a total of 36. KCStJ&CB
also had cars marked for Davis Milling: 800, 852, 940, 1374, 1442 & 1496.
CB&KC had some flats 1, 3, 5 & 7 lettered for Pfeiffer Stone (assume was for
cut rock, maybe granite?) and 20 ton coal cars lettered for Hannibal
Transfer Co. - #101-157 (any idea Archie?)
The only frt cars 36' & overat the time were 188 40' furniture cars among
the affiliated lines & 383 on the Q which also had thirteen 36' stock cars,
three 50' horse cars (8009, 8012 & 8036) and one 36' woodenware (#2800). I
recall Bernie Corbin showing me a fuzzy photo of one and was simliar to the
Menasha Woodenware car done by one of the obscure HO craft kit firms years &
years ago.
