James, What are you looking for? There is no single source foe everything as far as I know, but knowing whether you're looking for paint details, plans or something else might be helpful. Aidrian

Does anyone know of any published resources for the Southern's rolling stock? The reprint of the 1953 ORER is fine for numbers of freight cars, but very little else.

Does anyone know any details regarding Spencer's personality?

Apparently I missed something - are they going to move the statue? I believe that the statue is sitting right where it should sit - in front of the NS building in Atlanta and if it should be moved at

Jack, you may be right. All I had to go on was the biography, apparently given to dignitaries, issued for the dedication of the memorial. I've done nothing to verify the information, so you'll get no

Unfortunately, people are become less likely to judge a historical person by the context of his times. Samuel Spencer was only a teenager at the time seeing his state being invaded by outside

Thank you Bob for that information. I think the Vicksburg credit is wrong. The unit which he later joined, Nelson Rangers, was part of the Vicksburg campaign. However at the time that Vicksburg took

Ed: That drawing was for a series of tank cars to carry fuel oil, not the phosphate cars (see attached). The fuel oil cars were built under ACF Lot No. 19-15087 and numbered in the non-revenue

Ike, Thanks for this copy of the ACF stencil. Can you tell us what the numbers were that Southern issued for this car? Ed Locklin at mp367.

Scott: I have to wonder how did loaded 100T tank cars effected the ride and handling of passenger trains. (Can someone say if the brake valves had to be adjusted for pass service pressure?) I’ve

That drawing was specifically for the fuel cars built in 1973 so there is some minor differences in the data. For instance, the 1962 built tanks were type ICC111A100W1, and of course, rubber

Here is a letter size copy of ACF stencil drawing 4-F-3205 of their version of the Southern 100T tank cars used in Phosphoric acid service. Ike
