Due to extremely popular demand, I went back to the containers today, and after having the very kind employees open the gate for me, I took a couple dozen photos, from all angles, including the roof!
These unusual CB&Q(Z) COFC containers were purchased by a poltury exporting company to store their records, papers and extra office supplies back in the early 1970’s. They have sat in that location ever since.
Any now, I present to you some extremely comphrehensive photos of these Pacific fleet 24′ Aluminium shipping containers!
Here’s a shot of the front of the container.
Right Rear door closeup showing the hardware.
It’s a DORSEY!
This shot is of the roof, it’s skewed because I had to jump at just the right moment to capture this photo. Pretty simple construction.
I hope this helps. PLEASE leave a comment here if you found these photos helpful.
For all my effort, Athearn had better come up with a model of this in HO scale!
Thanks for taking and displaying the photos – it’s incredible that the containers are still in such good condition.
I haven’t searched all the pages on your site, but you certainly have something different (and that’s a compliment!)
