Hi,
I would like to know, if NC&Saint Louis Ry's. box cars, in photo., were 'Express' box cars, or 'Fast Freight' type of cars?
Please, advise:http://www.rrpicturearchives.n...ture.aspx?id=1895226
Thank you,

Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis!
Looks like a general service box car, Dan
Thank you Diesel Dan,
The reason I ask is that the car has the large, long yellow striping, which some 'Express,' 'Fast Freight,' 'Head End,' 'L.C.L.' and 'Merchandise Service' type of box cars, have.

The NASHVILLE, CHATTANOOGA AND St. LOUIS railway was THE original "Dixie Line" and Nashville's OWN hometown railroad, along with the TENNESSEE CENTRAL, which came later.
NC&StL J-3 "Dixie Class" 4-8-4 #576 is on display in our Centennial Park.
Tinplate Art,
Thank you for this information, which helps me to well know of the "Dixie Line" Railway.

Excuse me Gentlemen for mis-naming the Nashville, Chattanooga and Saint Louis Railway.
My apologies,
Ralph
