      This is nice work did you paint that yourself?
      I am a steel mill modeler and you seem to have all the best photos of newely painted bottle cars.

      Where in Warren Ohio do all of these cars get painted
      Thanks $$C

      Shelby,

      There is a small yard for a steel mill right through my back yard. The steel mill is down the street further. I'm think these are rebuilt further through the woods behind me in a large building. I'm fairly sure this building was a division of Youngstown Steel Door called Youngstown Steel Car. It would actually be in Niles, Ohio.

      There are 2 or 3 cars a month I see. This car (above) was headed for Pittsburgh. This one here is headed for Chicago:

      This one was right next to it, kind of like a before and after:

      I only have photos of the ones I happen to catch at the yard waiting to be shipped out.
    There are no comments to display.
