IC Pulpwood Car 7595 |
| Description: |
Illinois Central 50-ton pulpwood car IC 7595 was on Louisville & Nashville local train No. 43 at Pascagoula, Mississippi. It was on its way from the International Paper Co. mill on the Mississippi Export at Kreole – on the east side of Pascagoula – back to the IC at Gulfport. The car had a CAPY of 100,000 pounds, at LD LMT of 122,000 pounds and a LT WT of 47,000 pounds, for a gross rail load of 169,000 pounds. It had been rebuilt at the railroad’s shops at McComb, Mississippi in 1952 from a box car built in October 1927, and its origin as a box car explains the reinforcement added under the floor. |
