DS-00-192 C&O Freight Car Diagram Book 1922

$8.95

DS-00-192  C&O Freight Car Diagram Book 1922

Most railroads produced mechanical diagram books that gave the major dimensions, mechanical appliances, and other data on locomotives and cars. These books of drawings were supplied to officials and mechanical people at major stations and terminals so that they could easily determine the requirements for repair and maintenance of cars in their area. The C&O began producing the diagrams
sometime after 1900 for locomotives, but the earliest freight car book we have found is this one which seems to date from about 1922, and doesn’t seem to be entirely complete. It does represent the earliest available mechanical diagram data on C&O
freight equipment.
