Re: (erielack) FW: E-L & B&H, Wayland

Paul,
 
The B&H photo in Wayland obviously post-dates the EL (list content).
Gunlocke Chair was in Wayland, on the south side of town, east of
Lackawanna St. (Hwy 15/21).  Terry Dean please correct me if I am wrong.
 
The SSW boxcar in the photo does present something of a mystery.  It would
be unlikely that the B&H would take it all the way up to Wayland if it was
a Taylor Wine car or destined to someone in Bath.  It is possible this car
was loaded at Gunlocke.  My knowledge of Gunlocke rail operations is
sketchy.  The only cars that show up in the consist sheets are three EL
boxes outbound loaded, with furniture I assume.  One of those EL boxes
was an insulated boxcar assigned to the Agent in Bath (i.e. like the Moloco
model), so Gunlocke loaded DF-equipped cushioned cars in the past.
However, what is more likely is that the SSW boxcar was loaded at the
team track in Atlanta, NY, with wine products from Widmer in Naples, NY.
Jack Heater once told me that a winery loaded boxcars in Atlanta from
time to time.

Love that photo of B&H ("The Champagne Trail") #4. Pat, what's your guess as
to the lading in the SSW box? There was a consignee in Bath that received
lumber, but the WOODPRO load from the consist sheets was a stopoff car (NP
3238 on PO-98 of 8/25/75 at CO) and I believe the consignee listed was the
final destination in Worcester MA. Was Gunlock Chair in Bath?
