Ike, You will note that all but four of these cars were tri-levels. One of the reasons for turning these cars back was that this was at the beginning of the shift to Americans buying more pickups and

All: This copied from the MFCL list. As I have said many times, the SRHA archives are full of this kind of (detailed) material. We need help scanning and organizing everything! Ike 2a. Southern

1976 view from one of those (older, 40’) cars of pulpwood.

My Pleasure.

Although the information is very much in “raw” form and not well organized, the SRHA archives have many Mechanical Dept. and Hayne Shop files on car rebuild programs (Special Car Programs - SCPs),

Another great SR photo thanks for sharing Fenton

Mark , No Sir, unfortunately I do not.

Couldn't pull 'em until they were all loaded, or they wised up and started loading from switch end.

So when they did load from end to switch, you just wouldn’t pull the track til all were full or did the woodyards start loading from the switch? Trying to plan for the layout. Jason Greene

Typical. Woodyards always wanted to load from end of track towards switch. Eventually, instructions were not to move partial loads because of the instability of the wood until fully loaded.

Gerhard, I am working on an N scale U23B as we speak. I believe I will use this number, mainly because it has AGS marks. Do you have any more photos of this unit? I really need a top shot. Mark

Great find, Ike! I have wondered for a long while how many transfer cabooses Southern had and why the numbers were 1-XX and then 7XXX (as far as I could guess). David

With so much uncatalogued material in the SRHA archives, in many cases, it is difficult to research a particular question. One question I have had is when did the Southern change the wooden

Carloading off the Murphy branch is crazy! That’s about 35 cars a day just from the two paper mills listed. Plus the empty pulpwood flats and any additional traffic going to Asheville. When did the
