Rio Grande NG Class 5 Caboose Roofs
| October 20, 2010 02:15AM |
Hello,
Me again.
Have what I hope will be the last silly question.
Because I've never stood on the roof,
or seen a 'clear' image of one...,
I don't know the direction the Tar Paper runs on the Caboose roofs?
Did they run the rolls across the width
(athwart-caboose, for you nautical types)...,
....or were they rolled end-to-end?
Anyone got any answers?
Thanks..., (again in advance)
