Old Coach at Hearne, TX Service Facility
- Thread starter roryglasgow
- Start date
LCRX reporting mark is "Lower Colorado River Authority". Hmmmm ... maybe an office car, Rory?
GATX is, I think, "General American Marks Company"

Bill,
I started doing some research on the web to find info on the coach. So far I've found sites that claim that LCRX belongs to both the Lower Colorado River Authority and the Luzerne County Rail Corporation. Other information I've been able to glean from various sources is that there has been a push to establish passenger service in that area to New York City. Details are scarce, though. Perhaps they are refurbishing the coach for commuter service? Or maybe it's an office car, like you suggested... I may end up having to call these folks just to satisfy my curiousity!

That little tank car interreges me. Any chance of some end shots or 3/4 views of either end? I have a model of a shortie like that, and need to see what the coupler pockets and draw bar looks like.

Greg,
I'm afraid that we only got two shots from the side. We took the pictures from the roadside. If you would like the full-sized photos (1600 x 1200, 428KB and 503KB) send me a PM with your e-mail address.
You can usually get some details on GATX cars on their website at GATX Reports Online. Unfortunately, they do not appear to have any info on that little tanker...
