Car 831 - letters to the Editor

Tack Board- questions from readers

Front: It took the skills of the men at Conneaut (and Frankfort and Brewster) to keep the 700s in top form. A recipient of their care is S-2 749, seen being steamed up on March, 1958 after a trip back to the backshop. The 749 was more than just another job; she's the last 700 to be shopped and returned to service.

Back: A dozen 70-ton covered hoppers joined the Wheeling & Lake Erie roster in August 1937. It looks like someone did a less-than-perfect job of wiping chalk marks off the 7005 for this portrait at Gambrinus. The Wheeling will eventually acquire more covered hoppers, but they'll come without 7005's ampersand and periods.
