Gerald referred to the Furniture cars which had an internal height of 8' or more, which was about 2' taller inside than a box car of the era. I can't think of any furniture/household effects that wou

Rupert, Furniture, by it's nature, is a very light commodity. During the 70's Ethan Allen was shipping a couple cars a week from somewhere in the Southeast to unload at the team tracks along the stre

Rupert/Ken, Slightly on the same topic, "big cars for light loads", the CB&Q 86' box cars were really not in parts service for very long. Don't think they were able to establish any great volume of b
