Freight Shed

[FCIN]

PRR lost a 40' boxcar loaded with beer in '62..It showed up in '74 at a scrap yard..The car was bad ordered and spotted on the shops storage track as a empty and was never repaired thanks to a written order..Store unservicable-pending scrap. :o Nobody bothered to check the dead line or the shop's paper work since the car was reported as "enroute".

Not quite that bad, but one morning I opened an "empty" box car to see if it was clean and had enough DF bars in it to use for whiskey loading and guess what? It was full of brand new GE refrigerators! Apparently pulled from GE's Appliance Park in Louisville by mistake. You should have heard the Louisville Terminal Superintendent yell when I told him about it! Seems that the car had already been in Osborne Yard as an empty for over a week before it was sent to Frankfort!
