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

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
