Freight Cars Journal #63 Nashville & St. Louis Railway

$35.00

RailroadTreasures offers the following item:

In support of this issue, we've supplied four rosters: circa 1900; the 1922 roster, which was during the general renumbering of that period; a general roster of equipment from 1947-57; and the renumbering from the NC StL over to the L&N. Because the older rosters involve cars from over 100 years ago, there are most likely innaccuracies. Primary roster coverage comes from Eric Neubauer, with help from Steven Johnson and the L&NHS. Eric acquired data from several sources in the make-up of the rosters: Official Railway Equipment Registers, ICC reports, railway trade publications, and others.

By the 1900-1910-time period, the NC StL had assimilated the equipment from the various railroads that it had acquired. Undoubtable, many cars only lasted a very short time, mostly due to the weak construction and materials of the time. By this period, only several groups of cars from the predecessor roads could be accurately defined. Cars also came from at least two equipment "lines" of the time, The Southern Iron Car Lne, (SICL), and the South Eastern Line, (SEL) These "lines" were car lines that supplied freight cars to a pool of member railroads, (the Empire Line, of Pennsy heritage, is probably the most visible example). For example, the SEL was advertised as routing its cars over the following railroads: Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton; the L&N; the Southern Railway; the Port Royal & Augusta; the Georgia Railroad; and the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway.
