IC Pulpwood Car 7078 |
| Description: |
Illinois Central 50-ton pulpwood car IC 7078 was on Louisville & Nashville local train No. 43 at Pascagoula, Mississippi. It was on its way from the International Paper Co. mill on the Mississippi Export at Kreole – on the east side of Pascagoula – back to the IC at Gulfport. The car had a CAPY of 100,000 pounds, at LD LMT of 122,000 pounds and a LT WT of 47,000 pounds, for a gross rail load of 169,000 pounds. This was one of 295 pulpwood cars (7000-7294) which had been remodeled by the IC in 1949 from older cars. All of these cars had been built by AC&F in 1922 as 50-ton type GH wood-side, drop-end, drop-bottom gondolas 129000-129499, and some had been rebuilt into flat cars 61500-61749 at Centralia in 1939-40. |
