It seems to have slowed down again, so... here is a CCC&StL Hopper Car. and then in the mid 1930s at Beech Grove, Indiana, a CCC&StL class " H-5t " 2-8-2 Mikado #6078.
Roger, your collection of NY Central history continues to impress. That hopper looks pretty short. Mike looks great, very clean. :tb-biggrin:
That H-5 looks like it is new from the shop - there isn't a speck of dirt or rust to be seen! The hopper has the "S" prefix on the road number. As I recall, that meant the car was to remain on the SYSTEM. Is that correct?
"As I recall, that meant the car was to remain on the SYSTEM. Is that correct?" I believe that is correct.
