Front: During the 1930's, the Wheeling began a comprehensive program to replace its aging all-steel hopper fleet with new equipment. Thirty-four hundred two-bay offset-side hoppers were delivered between 1936 and 1947. Near the end of a vital yet unremarked career which has seen two changes of ownership, NKP 64149 awaits yet another load.
Photo: FJC Products Back: Passenger service was not forgotten in President John Bernet's 1934 equipment purchases. As the streamlined era dawned, heavyweight coaches were delivered by Pullman to the Nickel Plate; 63 poses in the summer of 1934 for a birthday portrait. In this issue, Jon Marx gives us a detailed look at a Branchline kit that recreates these cars.
