Feb-07-02, 03:54 PM (EST) 3. "RE: IC boxcars" Its a refigerated boxcar for transportation of bananas. Mega amounts of bananas came up from New Orleans. According to "The History of Illinois Central Railroad" by John F. Stover in the early sixties around 160,000 tons of bananas were carried per year. Although by the early seventies it was just about all gone due to better interstate roads and trucks. I got hold of a colour picture of one, in preservation state I think. I am not happy with the shape file I am using though and may use another that seems to be closer to the prototype. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
