Recently renovated caboose |
| Description: |
Here is a caboose located near the old Alabama Midland/ACL depot in Ashford Alabama. It has been recently repainted into a ACL paint scheme. I don't think it is a former ACL caboose as it was formerly in a Chessie System scheme. However I am wondering how authentic is the paint scheme now?? Is it what we could have seen carrying the markers on an ACL train in the 1950's?? Hopefully so but in any event, the City of Ashford Alabama deserves much credit for restoring this entire area. If you feel so moved, please let them know at City of Ashford, 516 Broadway Avenue, Ashford AL 36312. See additional photos for entire area that also includes renovated depot and SCL boxcar. |

8 axle tank car seen |
| Description: |
An 8 axle tank car, sometimes referred to as a "Whale on Rails", is seen in Columbia AL on the Chattahoochee Bay RR. Information from the past few weeks indicates that many, if not all, of these cars are being retired and scrapped. This one is stenciled "Do Not Load. Moving to be Dismantled" which seems to verify this. There capacity in enormous, this one having a load limit of 382,800 pounds and able to carry over 38,000 gallons. For perspective, a large over the road truck used to deliver gasoline usually holds around 9000 gallons. |

This shot shows the enormous capacities of this 8 axle tank car. These numbers would indicate that a fully loaded car would weigh a total in excess of 525,000 pounds!!! Or roughly 260 tons. This shot also shows the sad news that the car appears to be at the end of the road. |

This shot shows the date this car was built, June 1970. These cars are being retired now. Is it due to old age or have they become too expensive to maintain in comparison to a newer car??? |
