Does anyone have information on the box cab diesels that B & O operated in the late '40s and early 50s between Sparks and Moncton, MD? I am trying to build something to approximate the original and have only one picture recently found on the Internet. It is difficult to estimate the length since the picture is an angling front view along one side. Judging from the size of the door and windows, the unit appears to be about 50 feet long on two trucks, two wheels on a side per truck. I have been able to find some drawings with dimensions of some versions of this diesel, but they depict a shorter unit. It appears that these versitile units were modified for quite a varity of uses. <br /> <br />If anyone can steer me toward a possible source of dimension detail for the B&O unit that served rural Maryland between Sparks and Moncton, I would greatly appreciate it. <br /> <br />Thanks in advance.......Bill
