Here's a pic I found today of SLSF 78961, a 37ft, 2980 cu ft, LO covered hopper. I took this in Pacific, Mo in June, 2001 (I think) while chasing SLSF 1522 on one of her runs. (The back of the print says 7/2/01) These were built by the Frisco shops in Springfield in 1980 from kits supplied by Greenville, SLSF 78750-78974. They used Ajax brakes and the ASF "Ride Control" 100 ton roller bearing truck. I recall driving up the highway leaving town along the tracks on the way back to I-44 and home and coming to a sudden halt when I saw this car sitting there. Does anybody have a diagram for this series of LO's, and for the earlier Enterprise-built twins, SLSF 78200-78399, built in 1977? Ken
I don't have a diagram, but check out this thread, post #1: http://www.frisco.org/vb/showthread.php?t=298
