Just finished reading the "Abandoned loco? (Bay Colony GP9 #1701)" thread,
which is now closed.

I searched for the QTTX 13074 car that was cited as an OD shipment,
but all I found was QTTX 130740, a center-well (?) flat. A couple of pics
appear at http://www.railcarphotos.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (e.g.
http://www.railcarphotos.com/PhotoDetai ... toID=52182" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and
http://www.railcarphotos.com/PhotoDetai ... toID=62901" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ).

I'm fascinated but can't find any more info on this shipment. Does
anybody know what was brought in, where it was unloaded and where
it went?

Thanks,
Gary

I believe it was a transformer or something similar for a local utility
company. It was unloaded near Tresca's at a crossing there.
