West Side Lumber Company Tank Car #2

The WSLC tank car #2 has been dismantled and is in the process of a complete rebuild. This car appears to be an earlier 1920's version log car or possibly a car from another railroad. The mounting brackets and slots in the sills from the Westinghouse air brake tank were discovered. All the sills are of different sizes from the later standard West Side flats. Our WSLC tank car #4 is on one of those later standard flats with the metal plate draft gear supports. I will write up a report on this car when it is finished next year. Always open to any ideas or information in regards to this car such as when the tank was placed on the flat, ect.
