A couple of days ago, I was helping a friend by driving a truck on a construction job.  It involved crossing a railroad track, the old CB&Q line from Alliance NE to Billings, MT and is part of the BNSF now.  This line is now primarily a coal route although once in a while they run a unit tank train, a solid auto rack train and even the famous "Plane Train", the one with the airplane bodies on their way to Boeing, runs on this route.  Sometimes we even get to see a manifest or loose car train.  Well, as I approached the crossing one time, I saw a train appro

Is there a reference as to which tank cars have reporting marks on the top of the tank and is there a standard for placeing those reporting marks, i.e. When st a ding on the end of car the bottom of lettering is to the right making it right Side up left to right on the car top.

I soon will be mounting wood lips to the edges of my TT's bridges deck.

Does anyone know what type of bolts I should use? Would they be similar to those used on crossbeams on bridges?

I'm looking for something like seen on this TT's deck.

Also does anyone know what those bolts are in the centre of the bridge between the rails?
