Northern Pacific 50' RBL #s 97124-97125
Posted by npsixtynine on Wednesday, December 31, 2014 4:49 PM

Does anybody have a photo of this very small series of NP 50' RBL bunkerless reefers?

They were unusual in being only 2 cars, having 12' plug doors instead of the normal 9' or 10' doors & they were built by FGE.

I have the diagrams but no photos. Would like to have them before proceeding with a modeling project.

Thanks.

Larry, Have you tried the Northern Pacific Railway Historical Assoviation (NPRHA)?  http://www.nprha.org/Pages/Home.aspx.  I would suggest looking through the Joe Caron collection of 971 color photos.  Then Jim Fredrickson has a photo collection of 11161 for you to look through.  beiang as you state there were only 2 cars made, it may be difficult to find photos of what your looking for, Good Luck!

Yes, I belong to that orginization and have tried all the NP related resources I can think of. The fellow that I'm helping look has a huge collection of photos & information so I'm just looking at all areas on the chance someone might just happen to have a photo of this rare car.

Thanks for your assistance.
