Wonderful to see organizations bringing you the type of work that needs to be done, by people who know how to do it correctly! Great snag on the two freight cars, and your association with friend, Venezia! Any idea of the heritage of those two cars?

Great to see #148 getting prime shop time as well.

Why wasn't I born rich instead of handsome?

Any one of those projects would be remarkable in itself.

I am sure I am not the only one, but I always look so forward to your "Latest from the Strasburg" posts. These are truly magnificent work projects with a "You want us to do what?.....Ok, no problem." air to the challenges most everyone would face.

Great Work!

Steve

Cast steel flatcars were once pretty common. There was an interesting article a few years ago in the UPHS magazine about the ones UP had. GSC supplied the body, fully machined and all relevant holes tapped. Crews atvthe shops in Omaha would finish them off.

Both will be interesting projects.

Modern UP and AT&SF power had the pocket at the 3 o'clock position filled in with lead on the main drivers to cross counter balance the engine.

As always great photos of the work you folks perform!

How did that reefer survive that long? Was it covered? Looks to be in amazing shape.

Beats me! I have no reason to think that it was ever stored inside. Perhaps the quality (old growth?) or type of wood is to thank for its longevity.
