Re: [CBQ] Flatcar loads

I am traveling and therefore do not have access to my files. But going from memory #81 originated at Cicero . Depending on time period #81&#83 traded being the night hot shot to the twin cities.

Again if memory is correct there was also an #81 from Galesburg which I believe after some switching at Savanna was combined with the counterpart from Cicero.

What ever they are, each load seems to fully occupy a single flat car. 

The “turret” like thing are all to same side of the loading. There must be a balancing amount of load on the unseen side

The 6 loads were unusual enough to be captured by an official photographer 

From the file naming convention was this train number 81? 

If yes where would that have run from and to where?

Tongue in cheek answer from a Brit would be 6 Dalek’s being shipped to area 59 for investigation.

Transformers are not all that heavy when they are shipped without containing oil.
