HO Tour Car Pictures

[Mike Kieran]

While railfanning on the Port Able Railway hoping to catch glimpses of their newly restored 44 tonner when I saw this interesting box car being delivered to the Port Able Warehouse. Between switching moves, I asked about the car and I was informed that it was a load of Rocky Mountain Oysters. The 44 tonner is in service because the railroad's GE 45 tonner is in the shop undergoing some repairs. The engine that I was supposed to use (Bachmann 45 tonner in red) was indisposed due to gravity and the effects when said gravitational pull ends, usually with an object of a denser property than said engine (I dropped it, butter fingers).









Did anyone notice that the door was open? It turns out that you're supposed to ship Rocky Mountain Oysters in a refrigerated car, so the car was rather fragrant

It took two weeks of cleaning, scrubbing, and airing the car out to finally be able to enter the car without a hazmat suit. It was finally put into service for pickup at the Regina Manufacturing Corp. for a shipment of Pinky Rings to New Jersey for some organization called the Mothers and Fathers Italian Association - New Jersey Sopranos Chapter. This information was very vague and I was told "You know what happened to the last guy that asked alotta questions? You don't wanna know. Fuggeddaboudit!!!"
