I have seen actual car, and pictures of the Clinchfield version of what you were talking about. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a picture of one off the Southern. I’d be interested in seeing

To Anyone: A long time ago I saw a photo of a modified MOW railcar designed to break ice cycles from tunnels or any other objects. The car was pushed ahead of the locomotive for obvious

Great shot Bill. I’ve got some neat photos (SRY) photos of Champion paper (50’s)from a guy who’s mom worked for Champion and who’s dad worked for the SR. I used them in my pulp wood
