Conrail Cyclopedia Intermodal Magazine Articles "Spine Cars Part 2: Single-Purpose Minority Owners," Doug Gieger. Model Railroading. Dec 97, 58-65. Very little info on CR's version of the Impack-like spine car. CR 790081, 12-96 "Piggyback Trailers in the Eighties," David Casdorph. Railroad Model Craftsman. March 98, 87-93. A great article covering trailers, their uses, and everything else you need to no. No Conrail-specific information, but valuable for anyone modeling these trailers. "Intermodal Equipment Numbering: The Prototype Way," Dennie Hedlund. Model Railroading. Nov 95, 19-23. An overview of how railroads number their equipment. Spends time on Conrail, though not a detailed CR article. CRZ 235324 "Conrail 40' Van Stretched," Montford L. Switzer. Mainline Modeler. Aug 86, 30-33. Modeling one of CR's 40' vans that had a 5' extension added. Uses the Milepost 501 model; not sure if this is available any more or what to substitute. Prototype and detail photos. Nice model! HELP: "Article Title," Author's Name. Magazine. Issue, Pages. Summary or comments on the article and models used go here. Roster photos of cars in article listed here, with descriptions: CR (xPC) 123456 Z12 (neeRDG), a bogus car, b&w 3-87 Road (x=CR markings but original owner paint-out) Car# Class (nee=former owner before repainted CR), comments, b&w photo and date if available.
