The freight car parts in question are repair parts for the small
narrow-gauge dump cars used within the mine. Of note on this bill is the
"Stop this car at" field at the upper left. This LCL shipment arrived at
Altoona in a CB&Q car, and was transloaded into a PRR car for final
delivery. CB&Q #42247 was a class XF-8 50' furniture car,
wood-framed, built 1899—a very large car when built, but by 1933, an
old and decrepit one. See Rail
Model Journal, July 1989, p. 47 for more information on these
cars. |
