Re: [CBQ] Wooden RPO Photos & Drawings

Hi Hol,

I actually did find it in the Glick Photo Album book, but it didn't have all of the documentation that is on the library site.

Thanks for sending that!

Thanks for all the great input.

I think I have settled on the 40' baggage car 1115 or 1113 as my project based in part on the good documentation.  It's on page 52 of the 1869-1930 Glick book and a nice photo on page 23 of Burlington in Transition.

I have a few more questions:
1.  The Glick roster book specifies a #2 truck.  What is a #2 truck?  Axle spacing dimension?  Arch bar?

2.  We're trying to read the car number on the photo on page 23 of Burlington in Transition.  Is it 1115 or 1113?  Glick read it as 1113, as that's what is shown on his drawing, although close inspection makes it look more like 1115.  The roster book shows that 1113 was renumbered in 1928, so that number couldn't show up in Corbin's photo in the 40's.   Thought?

3.  The car appears to have 2 vents up in the clerestory.   Does anyone know of a good photo that shows the detail of how those vents should appear?

Thanks!
