Better check the wheel gauge or track gauge.
bargetanikaParticipantI noticed that arch bars, queen posts and truss rods are still carried on this card.
bargetanikaParticipantYou brushed it on the wood directly? Did you prime it first?
bargetanikaParticipantWhat paint did you use on the boxcar?

bargetanikaParticipantOk. Not a big deal. I just remember that coffee image from years and years ago. I had an uncle that worked for Humble Oil in Houston and that old 1960 Official Guide he gave me was the best present I ever had. I’d love to have it back.
bargetanikaParticipantWell now, then, it’s a perfect time to ask about something I’ve wondered about for years.
Before my flood experience I had a lot of railroadiana including an old Official Guide. In the T&P passenger schedules, there was (as I remember) a repetitive graphic of a waiter with a coffee cup and the statement “where you get that famous T&P coffee.”
In the past, before Seattle became a coffee center, New Orleans was well known as a point of import entry for coffee. Several large roasting operations were there, still are, when the wind is right you can smell it all over town. I went into some of the plants in the course of my employment before I retired.
Was New Orleans the source of the TP coffee? Which company? This might be worth a paragraph in the book.

bargetanikaParticipantIt’s a pretty standard industrial cage protected light fixture, not railroad specific.
bargetanikaParticipantPassenger service ceased on the New Iberia and Northern 40 miles to the east in 1935. So the Crowley branch could have been at about the same time. This was the period when improved roads began to penetrate this region.
