Re: Southern early low side gons (1901-1945)
Do you have a date on the TIES article? I paused going through them at 1998, so I have 20 years of them to go through and I keep getting distracted by neat articles on other topics.
ORER’s are not

Re: Southern early low side gons (1901-1945)
Dave:
Ties ran an article on low side gons and most of the info Jim King published with his kits came from SRHA. (Jim is always very good with crediting material.)
Many people have heard my comments

Hello Dave,
No promises that I’ll find anything you may not already have, but I’ll keep my eye out as I’m going through our photo collections at the archive.

Southern early low side gons (1901-1945)
There's been comparatively a lot of history of Southern boxcars and even hoppers in the pre-WWII era, but the gondolas, and my favorite the low side gons, have had little attention paid. I want to

Southern Cabs on PC
I was chatting with a friend who was asking about Southern cabs on other roads. It appears that the PC bought 13 of the 1946 cabs in 1971. They also inherited five from the Indianapolis Union
