Well, there you go, there's a first time for almost everything. Looking at the photo of the modified 5015 in the Color Guide, this, of course, is why the attachment points for the upper portion of the ladder and the roofwalk are visible while those for the bracket of the presumed high-mounted brakewheel are absent. The captions list a 50' length for these 57' cars. General Foods must have had a distribution center in Fullerton. I'm going to register on this railcarphotos.com site, it looks like it will be very useful. Thanks, Paul. I hope you're feeling better. Paul B > From: Paul R.
