Group, FYI I contacted Tiffany Adrian at the Univ. of Iowa asking about using
these photos from the Calvin Collection in a future publication. She told me
it would be ok as long as we gave due credit to the university and the Calvin
collection. I'm sure I would put the K Line box car in my article on Hannibal.
She even offered to send me a higher resolution scan if I needed it. Thanks
for the tip on this terrific link, boys. Regards, Archie Hayden

Verlin is correct.... it is a powered boxcar (at least it would be if it
still had its side sheathing and ends!!!).
The gondolas are not the sort that could in-service have their sides
removed.... even thought they were
attached to what is basically a flat car with stake pockets.....
I'd guess, from the lack of lettering, that the contraption might be owned by
a contractor. It certainly
looks like a home-built job.
It appears that both cylinders are driving the wheel... the tank aft of the
cylinders is the water supply...and
the boards around the floor on the boiler end sufficed as the coal bunker
The comments about the Lidgerwood are still valid even if somewhat mistaken
for this photo, however.
