WCHX 1825

Here's another picture from the Hartwell line in Greorgia. BLT 5-40 and then SAV 4-65, it is an old car. It is now used to store fuel for the shortline's locomotives. You can see the pump that has been modified to run off compressed air in the first picture.




I was wondering if any of you could tell me what kind of car this is? One of the employes was mentioning that their was some debate in an old model railroad magazine as to whether or not this class even existed. Do any of you have any details as to what the debate was?

Thanks!

Are those converted bearings on that car?

I believe so, they were on a gondola of similar age...
