(erielack) FW: Surviving Milk Cars

[Rob Davis <superc_@_monmouth.com>]

Hi all,

I sent this out to the B&M list, but figured you all might like it, too.
With the exciting realization that the museum in Duluth, Georgia has a steel
GPEX car (it was painted as an L&N water car from years of service as such),
the list has grown.

Bad news is, I lost my Surviving Milk Car list in a major crash last month,
so here it goes from memory.

Yikes!

Looks like 15 known milk cars as I recall the list. Please let me know if
there are more!!!!

I welcome corrections!!!!!!

Rob Davis
