IC 51000 |
| Description: |
Illinois Central's experimental aluminum referigerator car 51000 was photographed outside its birth place a month after its 35th birthday. The railroad's shops at McComb, Mississippi completed the car in September 1946. Designed in collaboration with Alcoa and the United Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Association, it was intended as a possible prototype for post-WWII reefers. It weighed about 26 tons, several tons less than a comparable steel car, and gave good service; but it was not duplicated... probably because of its high initial cost. Some time after this photo was taken, the car was placed in a McComb park, where it joined an IC 4-8-2; and these are now on display next to the city's Amtrak depot.In 1946 and 1947 Pacific Fruit Express built a pair of aluminum reefers, the first with material supplied by Reynolds Metals and the second by Alcoa. PFE concluded that the weight benefits of the cars were more than offset by their high cost, and built no more aluminum reefers. |

When this photo was taken, Illinois Central Gulf caboose 199480 was regularly assigned to the railroad's Shoreline Branch local between Bogalusa and Covington, Louisiana. Here it is in Covington, ready to head back to Bogalusa the next morning.

UP Flat Car 57988 |
| Description: |
Union Pacific 57988 was one of several F-70-29 type FMS flatcars equipped to transport containers which carried the nose and rear sections of the solid rocket booster motors (SRBM) which were used on NASA’s space shuttles. The car had a capacity of 120,000* pounds, a load limit of 122,000 pounds, and light weight of 98,000 pounds, for a gross rail load of 220,000 pounds. SRBM components moved back and forth between Corinne, Utah and the Kennedy Space Center via the UP, MP, KCS, SCL/SBD/CSXT and FEC. All SRBM fuel sections rode on 8-axle cars provided by all of these lines; but all of the 4-axle cars were provided by the UP. The nose and rear sections were lighter than the fuel sections and didn’t require an 8-axle car. All of the pieces moved in containers which had a length of 40-10, with a width and height of 12-11. This car was photographed on the KCS at New Orleans, where the SRBM cars were interchanged with the Seaboard System (later the CSXT). |

KCS 358 |
| Description: |
The Darby Corp. in Kansas City built 43 stainless steel cabooses for the Kansas City Southern (302-344) between 1964 and 1970. Between 1980 and 1982 several of these cars were overhauled and some were renumbered, and the 358 is one of the renumbered cars. These cabs originally wore an octagonal emblem on their bay windows, but this overhauled car has had the logo replaced with large red letters! It was photographed on the caboose track at West Yard. |

RNDX 163 |
| Description: |
This experimental fiberglass Centerflow covered hopper was arriving in Lafayette on an Espee local with a load from the Cargill salt mine at Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. This was the first of two such cars built by ACF Industries as a joint-venture with Cargill and the Southern Pacific. Both cars featured a filament-wound fiberglass-reinforced polyester body, and unlike most contemporary freight cars, they were riveted together! GLASSHOPPER was built in January 1981 and had a light weight of 59,200 pounds, while GLASSHOPPER II (RNDX 166) was completed in April 1983 and weighed 5,000 pounds less. Although the GLASSHOPPERS were lighter then all-steel cars, and offered better corrosion resistance for loads such as salt, their higher cost precluded further development. The RNDX reporting mark belonged to ACF, but these two cars were never listed in the OFFICIAL RAILWAY EQUIPMENT REGISTER. |

ICG 700565 |
| Description: |
Ortner built 23 of these tiny (1500 cubic feet) 105-ton covered hoppers for the Illinois Central Gulf in 1979. The cars are only 11 feet 8 inches high, so they are about three feet lower than the Railbox on the next track. Numbered 700550-700572, the cars were built to haul ilmanite ore from the Port of Gulfport about 20 miles to a new DuPont titanium dioxide manufacturing plant at Delisle, Mississippi. The ICG had to build a 13-mile spur from Delisle Jct. -- four miles north of the port -- to the plant, which is at the north end of Bay St. Louis. ICG retained ownership of these cars after this track was sold to MidSouth Rail in 1986, but the 19 existing cars were acquired by the Kansas City Southern after the KCS bought MSRC in 1994. They were repainted brown and became KCS 330000-330016, 330018, and 330019. All 19 were still listed in UMLER at the beginning of 2016.Titanium dioxide is a white pigment used in plastics, paints, paper, and textile fibers, as a food additive, and in many other materials that require whiteness, brightness and opacity. |
