Subject: EL boxcar (and a few gons) assignments
"boxcars-p1.jpg" - image/jpeg, 851x1101 (256c)

A HUGE thank to Jay Held for forwarding along this fascinating (and
unfortunately, undated - looks like it's early 1960s) EL document. These 12
pages outline service assignments for boxcars (with a few gondolas on the
first page).

LOTS of neat stuff in here... a couple things I observed quickly:

* boxcars-p8.jpg: Note the 84383-84407 series (40' box) used in auto
transmission service!

* boxcars-p9.jpg: That's a LOT of 40' boxcars used in steel service!

* boxcars-p10.jpg: Note the 97951 "Hide Car" and the 98285 "Stearing (sic)
gear" cars

* boxcars-p11.jpg: What was hauled out of Silver Springs, NY and Rittman,
OH? Isn't the latter on the G&W? Salt, perhaps?

Enjoy! And thanks, Jay!
