| {This list
was obviously made up at the Locomotive Shop in Raleigh. The wheels existed at the Shop at that
time (see NA, RRB 5-1-63),
and could only
have come from the Baltimore & Ohio RR, since no one but
Tredegar had the ability to make such a quantity of wheels and
their records indicate no such production. At roughly 475
pounds per wheel, the above list would have required about 22
cars to move just the wheels. If the wheels were fitted to the
axles before shipping, the requirement for cars would be much
higher.} |
