Ed, Pieter and All; Google up 49 CFR 231.27, paragraph I .
There are probably regional, class and historical variations on this term, just as there are on many others. I don’t care what they’re called on the Pennsy or the New York Central, in my basement they’re called roofwalks, just as the real Monon railroaders called them! Roger Nulton From: Ed Sent: Sunday, November 28, 2010 8:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} Running Boards > It said "Keep off roof, no Running Board." > That ended the discussion. > Tom Hawley The Official NYC book "Diagrams, Dimensions & Classification of Freight Cars" has a dimension of length shown like this: "42'3" over running boards" This terminology is repeated for each different boxcar. Must be true that "roofwalks" is a modeling invention -- sort of like "turnouts". Cheers...Ed L. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
