Julie let me borrow another stack of wood car photos to scan in, so I'm adding those to the Johnson Collection folders as I get a chance. So far I've added pictures of 36, 56, 203, 205, 304, and 306. And I'm almost done with the original scrapbook.
But of course the 3-D versions will remain my top priority.
Meanwhile, another friend, Ed Maurath, sent along a couple that he has colorized in the fashion of old-time postcards. Enjoy!

ANYONE Know the last time that 3 CA&E Steel Cars Ran together as a train in the state of ILLinois??
ReplyDeleteLike the photo of the 302, I have noticed in the Red and Gray wood car era, signs were placed in the motorman's window indicating "Local" or "Express." What were these signs made of, and have any survived in IRM's collection?
ReplyDeleteAs for the three-car steel train, that's easy. Sunday, October 26, 1958.
ReplyDeleteAs for the little signs, I'm pretty sure they were sheet metal. I haven't come across any samples yet, but I need to make some repros for use on the 319, at least. If anyone out there has some, and you could send me the overall dimensions and scan in the lettering, I'd be most grateful!
