Short Line IPD Equipment
#13
Here are three types of cars operated by one of my favorite short lines, the Louisville New Albany & Corydon Railroad (Corydon, IN)
This is one of their first IPD cars and in their original paint scheme with the map of Indiana. 40ft box with a 6ft sliding door no less     As they added more cars to the fleet, they adopted this standarized paint scheme and logo, and here's another 40ft box in that scheme, also with a 6ft sliding door     Like a few other short lines, when the IPD craze started, LNAC initially fielded a fleet of 40ft box cars, which as you can guess, there was little demand for 40ft cars and most of these wound up being stored until they were finally scrapped. So they finally began to field 50ft cars and among their fleet were these 50ft all-door box cars which they called "Side-Slider's"     Elsewhere in my collection I have shots of their other 50ft box cars, but will have to post them later.
More to come later!
