Brunswick Car Shops, 1988
By the time of these June 1988 photos, the Brunswick car shops had been closed and reduced to staging of cars until scrapping or forwarding to Cumberland. Two examples of the first iteration of ACF's "Center Flow" covered hopper are seen here; One HC13 representing a 6-outlet version with round hatches, and one HC17 representing a 3-outlet version with trough hatches. Since there are many of these Center Flow cars seen in these images, it is likey they were sent to Brunswick for class repairs which appear to have stopped midway when the shops closed. There's even a C&O caboose back there, evidence that the true Chessie era is over. No photographer listed, JL Sessa collection
