Title: Railroad Museum
Post by: jay on February 08, 2008, 05:42:12 AM
The new industrial railroad museum on Poland Avenue has added another rail car to its collection.  See the picture below.

Perhaps someone will tell us exactly what this car is and where it was used.

I never even knew there was a railroad museum on Poland ave. !!??  That is a ladle car used to transport molten steel or also referred to as a hot bottle.

We'll it's not quite a museum yet. They have tracks laid down and they have moved 3 or four rail road cars onto the newly laid tracks. The only other thing there is a sign saying future home of the railroad museum. There is no buildings or anything there yet.
