The Glen Allen Car & Foundry Company...

...notified E&P management yesterday that the order they placed for twenty (20) cars back in July of last year has finally reached the factory floor. In fact all twenty of the undercarriages are complete and ready for the paint shop. The Glen Allen Car & Foundry Company provided the picture below of the twenty undercarriages waiting for the paint shop. No delivery schedule was provided for the finished cars. But based on past experience with the Glen Allen Car & Foundry Company delivery will probably be late summer.

These twenty cars are divided into four sets and will be lettered E&PSL, E&P, Easton and Potomac and Easton Ice Company. The first three sets will be box cars and the last set refers. The corresponding undercarriages are from left to right top to bottom in the picture.

E&P management is anxious (even if the White Hall YM is not) to take delivery believing these cars will pay for themselves in per diem savings alone when they replace foreign road cars currently in service on the E&P, especially in Thorny Point.
