I am looking for pictures of the following ICRR heavyweight commuter trailers: 1306, 1345, 1365, 1433, 1435, 1439. These six cars were purchased by the Crab Orchard & ?Egyptian Railroad in 1972-1973 and used until 1978.
Five of the six still exist today. 1306 was scrapped in the summer of 1991 after the scrapyard that purchased her hulk went out of business. 1345 and 1365 are currently in use on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern in Jackson, MO. 1435 (the other car to burn with the depot in 1977) is restored cosmetically as ICRR 1435 in Kevil, KY as a private residence. 1433 and 1439 are now in use on the Nevada Northern Railway in Ely, NV.
I would appreciate finding at least one of these six cars in a picture in service on the IC in Chicago.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
