Jonathan Vincent	General	It started life as a milk car. A sister car, #40608, is in the Southeastern RAilway Museum in Duluth, Georgia. Many confuse these cars with the ex-"Big Emma" tenders that were converted into fuel cars.	6/17/2011 1:59:16 PM

James Hinman	General	The milk cars were built with steam pipes and other facilities for being on the head-end of passenger trains. After conversion to maintenance/freight applications, many of these extra features were removed, insitigating the 'Freight Service Only'.	6/19/2011 8:03:03 AM

Fred Stuckmann	General	Nice.	6/20/2011 3:04:00 PM

Nate Poole	General	This is a maintenance of way water car; they held water for work trains in their tanks for drinking & showers/ bathrooms. These cars held 2 glass lined tanks that contained all the water needed for a work train. These cars also had a filtration system to render any water potable from any intake. Only one side had the filtration system.	12/17/2020 1:48:42 AM

Nate Poole	General	These cars started life as Pfaudlrer Milk cars & were later sold to Danville Industries; L&N got them about 1975.	12/17/2020 1:50:45 AM
