Re: 06092 Wheel and Tie information

When Roy Blizzard and I led up the crew that rebuilt the car over the summers of 1998 and 1999, the wheel chocks were replaced exactly as they were taken off. Roy measured them and cut them from oak on his band saw back home in New Jersey. He then shipped them to me (my UPS lady was not amused) in Santa Fe and I installed them on the car. It was the first car rebuild we replaced the sills. Sloan's book lists this car as being transferred to work service in 1906.

06413 is listed as a tie car but every picture I have seen of it shows it with a truck on it. Pictures of 06202 show it in the Salida wreck train with wheel sets also.
