Re: (erielack) NJ riveted tank car avail FREE to museum Fwd: [NERAIL] old equipment FOR FREE!

I will have to go over to my office and look him up but iirc there is a
man in Chalafont, PA who collects old tank cars. He is along the SEPTA
Dolylestown line and part of the collection is visible from US 202.

section of track in Carlstadt NJ, on  land he bought, a standard-gauge
riveted tank car with wooden brake boards and wooden chassis cushions. (I
know nothing about this, but he thought  those  details indicated a very
old car.) His people want him to sell it  for scrap; he has a dedication
to history and would like someone to have  it.
