boogie hands Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 just got my pictures back from a recent trip to baltomore, during my time up there i stopped by the B&O rail museum. id definatly recommend checking it out, its worth it.....im not really big on railfan stuff but i was running around like a kid in a candy store......it was a blast. heres some flicks i took while i was there, ill do my best to remeber what everything is and list it but if i dont then tough shit...... enjoy http://boogiehands.freeservers.com/images/boengine.jpg'> b&o engine http://boogiehands.freeservers.com/images/bocaboose.jpg'> b&o wooden caboose http://http://boogiehands.freeservers.com/images/firststeelcar.jpg'> one of the first all steel box cars mass produced in the united states, im thinking early 30s on this one http://boogiehands.freeservers.com/images/metalcar.jpg'> this car was used to carry melted steel by rail....sorry, no date http://boogiehands.freeservers.com/images/railcar.jpg'> a car used by the rail company to reach remote parts of the rail that couldnt be accessed by road....im thinking 1930s-40s http://boogiehands.freeservers.com/images/snowplow.jpg'> a wooden snow plow used during the heavier snows in the north, the plow is slanted all to the right in order to keep snow of the adjacent tracks.... http://boogiehands.freeservers.com/images/tunnelcar.jpg'> during the transition from the older, smaller cars to a larger scaled car this was used to measure for clearance in tunnels....if the metal structure (to the left) passed through the tunnel then it was suitable for the clearance of the newer, larger cars http://boogiehands.freeservers.com/images/tunnelcar2.jpg'> a better look at the structure used on the clearance car.... p.s.- sorry for the shitty tint, ive been going with walmart who continues to blow ass more in a bit.....
