Hi David -- The photo with the square corner car is really neat. Lots of stuff to look at, including the radial roof and vertical brake staff on that car. Even what they are putting into it is intriguing. So is the pair of rails with the steel drum on it -- lube oil for rolling stock? Maybe one of you fellows knows how this was used, as it appears to be a railroad feature and not a commercial thing,.
Thanks!

The W-corner was a W-shaped section instead, so the end sheets wrapped around the corner in a larger arc to be riveted to the sides. square: http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/el/frt/erie76335adb.jpg David Thompson ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
