	Gold Coast Railroad Museum - Freight Cars - Helium Tank Car MHAX #1202
		This car was "purpose built" to transport helium from gas producing wells, mostly located in Amarillo, Texas, to various different consumers throughout the United States.
		Although this car was built in 1962, it is identical to those which brought helium to the Naval Air Station, Richmond, located on this site, for use in the 25, non-rigid airships based here.
		Most recently, this car was used at the Kennedy Space Center, at Cape Canaveral, Florida, for the transportation and storage of helium used in a wide variety of processes in space flight.

	Railroad car (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A railroad car, (or, more briefly, car), also known as a item of rolling stock in British parlance, is a vehicle on a railroad or railway that is not a locomotive - one that provides another purpose than purely haulage, although some types of car are powered.
		Passenger cars, or coaches, vary in their internal fittings but the vast majority of modern examples consist of a long interior with seats and a central aisle for access.
		Freight cars or wagons exist in a bewilderingly wide variety of types, adapted to the ideal carriage of a whole host of different things.

		In a schnabel car load, the distance between the two halves of the car, horizontal pin to horizontal pin, not necessarily maximum length of suspended load.
		A restriction can be based on several criteria: number of axles per car, weight of load, height of load Above Top of Rail, width of load, length of load, ratio of truck centers or bolster centers to length of load, combined center of gravity of car and load, or other conditions.
		Car length over strikers is always greater than length over end sills (car body) but always less than length over pulling faces of couplers.

		Richard Hendrickson said these cars in the 3101-3200 series were built to the same design as a large number of early 1920's Canadian National box cars, and both the AC and the CN kept them in revenue service longer than they would have lasted on most U.S. roads.
		Soph said this car was found in the CNW yards, in Marshalltown, IA in July 1971.
		Car was built in '57, and is obviously in its as-built scheme.

	Railway Age: The high-tech car takes shape - railroad freight cars - includes information on recycling of steel ...
		--Freight cars being built today are, in a number of ways, light years ahead of the cars built a decade ago in terms of use of advanced-performance components and materials.
		At the third annual Railway Age Intermodal Roundtable, held Aug. 15 in Chicago, the top people from the four U.S. manufacturers of a broad range of freight equipment were somewhat less optimistic, but nobody was predicting a drop in demand like the one that occurred in the 1980s, or anything close to that.
		Another, which may affect the ability of component suppliers to predict orders/deliveries by car types, is simply that a manufacturer of wheels or axles or bearings may have a good fix on total demand, but perhaps not on the types of cars on which the product will be installed.

		The American Railroad Passenger Car (Johns Hopkins Studies in the History of Technology) by John H., Jr.
		The humble railway freight car, "a brawny, toil-hardened vehicle ready for the long haul," transformed America between 1830 and 1910 by carrying the nation's goods cheaply and expeditiously.
		The replacement of wood-framed cars by steel cars around 1890 ushered in a freight revolution and pitted Charles Schoen, pioneer of the steel freight car, against crafty steelmaker Andrew Carnegie.

		Freight cars would be positioned on the northwest side of the Timber Transfer, on the west track (about where the gondola appears in this photo), where they would be rolled down one at a time by gravity until the leading coupler is lined up with the crane.
		The replacement truck would be rolled into place underneath the car body, the crane would then shift the car body sideways 10 1/4 inches to center it on the replacement truck, and the car body would then be lowered.

		It is lined inside and out, like the fruit cars of his design, and has in either end iron boxes as receptacles for ice, large enough to hold a quantity sufficient to last during a trip to the East.

	America on the Move \| Journal Hook used in railroad work (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Each journal box had a lid; the journal hook was used by a car inspector and/or oiler to pull open the lid, check for adequate oil level, fill with oil if needed, and close the lid.
		A car inspector or car oiler used this journal hook to inspect journal boxes and bearings of railroad cars and locomotive tenders; he could more easily open and close a journal-box lid with this hook, without having to stoop down.
		Today, modern roller-bearings on railroad freight cars require maintenance only every 100,000 miles or so, and 'hot boxes' are extremely rare - almost non-existent.

		While each bit of information is relatively uninteresting, the compiled data accurately and thoroughly answers many questions about rosters and the car building industry for which could only be guessed at in the past.
		While this will be primarily of interest to railroad historians, I also hope that it will be of use to other historians because photographs which contain identifiable portions of freight and passenger cars can often be dated based on the particular cars they contain.
		You can also see some Allentown area railroad car summaries which include the Central of New Jersey, Delaware & Hudson, Lehigh and Hudson River, Lehigh and New England, Lehigh Valley and Reading Railroads which operated trains into Allentown, PA, during the 1970s.

		I no longer remember, after all these years, where I came upon the readymade cars that became the basis of this bit of AP&G rolling stock and its companion freight car.
		Using them as the basis of an inexpensive detailing project that soon developed into a very diffrent model, I laminated planking to the roof, added grab irons, a brake wheels, link-and-pin couplers, and even those fragile brake hoses.
		Both freight cars appeared in my February 1879 photo-article in Railroad Modeler — "Make Mine an Old Timer." A color photograph of the livestock car following a four-wheel ore car being pulled by the AP&G's 0-4-0 appeared in my 1978 photo-article "Details Make a Difference." [Three-quarter view of car].

	Canadian Freight Cars
		Increasingly, railway cars are being owned by private companies -- either shippers acquiring their own cars, or lease companies supplying cars to shippers.
		Defining a Canadian private car can be rather difficult, especially in more recent years, as owners are known to move across the border from time to time.
		There are some large U.S. leasing companies which have acquired cars from Canadian operations, or which have supplied cars to Canadian lessors under unique reporting marks and I have tried to include these cars as well.
