Re: [CBQ] Photo: Tractor Pulling A Cut Of CB&Q Boxcars

["Steven Holding" <sholding@sbcglobal.net>]

An interesting study in box cars  Four OSB Box cars the farthest away has a steel door.

Two with the BR Herald on the door which has a metal reinforcing bar across the middle

The one with no bar across the middle has Everywhere West across the door

Use to unload C-6 covered hoppers of Alfalfa pellets in the elevator at the Montgomery Sheep yards when in high school.  We used the company dump truck and a chain to reposition the car as it was a switch-back to get the car into the elevator.  Then had to use a car mover to get it started to roll out so the switch eng could pick it up,.

A 1948 photo from the Newberry Library:

This photo can be enlarged a bit. Taken at Vernon, Texas.

Hopefully there is someone not seen in the photo manning a brake wheel.
