DS-7-059 Virginian Railway – Classifications, Diagrams & Data of Freight Cars

$16.95

Virginian Railway – Classifications, Diagrams & Data of Freight Cars

Like most railroads, the Virginian prepared mechianical diagrams for its various classes of rolling stock and motive power. These dimensioned drawins were issued to mechanical department officials at all levels and at all major stations and terminals where there might be a necessity to know the specifications of equipment for the purpose of repairs or for other reasons. These diagrams were updated as changes in the equipment occurred and new pages issued to book holders, so that each book was kept current. Updates are shown on diagrams. Such books were generally issued for freight and passenger cars and locomotives, and sometimes for cranes and other company service equipment.

This is a full size copy of a Freight Car Diagram book containing diagrams and extensive data sheets on the VGN freight car fleet as of 1948. The original was white lines on a blue background (the traditional blueprint), but has been reversed in this reprint, for ease in readability.

130 pgs.
