If you have any photos of M&StL freight equipment, please contribute
to this page.
You can send email to mstl@eldora.net
I will return any photos sent to me for scanning. If you have photos and a scanner you can send them as an email attachment. JPG format is best but GIF and BMP can be used if that's what you have. If you can save them in a resolution of 96 or 72 pixels per inch that will make them email MUCH faster. Photos scanned at a higher resolution can become so large that they take 15 minutes to email.
Additional freight car information and history can be found on the
Clark Propst HO Model Pages

40' box #53246 at Proviso yard. I had a friend whose dad worked as a
mechanic at Proviso.
He took us on a tour to see some of the "new" SD45's from
Conrail and Burlington Northern.
Saw several switchers there as well that are long gone. Anyway, there was
a string of these
40' boxcars sitting on the north side of the yard. One happened to be M&St.L
53246.
As you can see it did not have a high priority at this date with straw
sticking out
of the door. This was August 1985. Frank DeVries
70459 was shot in Bensenville IL. Just to the north of the CNW Proviso
yard.
Not sure why this was there, but looked good in July 1986. Frank DeVries
Another shot of 70459 is here

70405 was shot in Watertown. As you can see it is directly behind the DME
1483 in 1987. Frank DeVries
