| Santa Fe 40-foot, 50-ton box car AT&SF 142828 was on the Louisville & Nashville on 4 April 1966, spotted in the north end of the OLD SIDING at Pass Christian, Mississippi. This was one of 2,010 Bx-37 Class cars in the ATSF 141301-143310 series which had been built under Pullman-Standard Lot No. 5652 in 1941. Notice the truck nearest the camera. The car had been on a southbound fast freight when it developed a hot box in Gulfport, nine miles from here. The crew brought their four U-25B units here and swapped them out for a geep that was tied up there. Then they went back and carefully walked the car here. The truck frame collapsed just as they were moving the car into the siding. |
