THE RAILROAD CARS

[Bossbill]

Is this the kind of rail car used? It's a  tri-level auto-veyor and holds 15 cars. Pic is from around '66.

On edit -- showing how a small derail can cause damage.

Actually I just purchased a 67 GT 350 that was one of the RR cars that were damaged.

I was surprised to see that on the Marti....

Marti got that information from the Registry.

  A friend of mine dads bought a 67 Brittany Blue 350 that was involved in a train incident involving several cars in Topeka Ks. His dad was an employee
of ATSF and bought the least damaged car of the bunch. Still has it to this very day.

Is it Z67200F8A02240?  If so, it is one of the 14 cars involved in the derailment.  I have been trying to figure out where the derailment took place.  Did your friends dad say the derailment was in or around Topeka, or that is just where he lives?  Any information would be helpful.

Thanks,

I have a friend that owns one of the rail cars. He has owned the car for over 30 years. The car has had a complete resto done around 1990. I will be listing the Shelby for sale as soon as I can get all of the docs and pics together.

[greekz]

That is great.  Hopefully, some information in his docs.

That is great.  Hopefully, some information in his docs.

I will send you the info when I acquire it.

Thankfully #2946 was on that train.  It was headed for the Midwest and would have ended up a rusted out hulk. Instead it returned to California where the rail company was headquartered and was sold locally spending its entire life 20 miles from LAX. Owner was a true enthusiast and ran it hard at Willow Springs for many years.

A lot of the best survivors I have seen were sent to the midwest.

Thats not always an indication of how the car would end up.

But is a good bet....I do agree

Question for Road Reptile:

"A quick note 2621 also had body damage which was evident when you looked inside the trunk,right 1/4 panel was replaced-it was bought at a deep discount, which we assume was due to this
repair,and first registered as a 1967 Chevy G.T. 350  in California."

It sounds like you saw this car in person. Was it repainted Acapulco Blue by any chance? My friends parents may have owned this car.If it was repainted blue to happen to know the owner now?
