Old Photo - Need Railroad ID
Author: train1275

Can anyone identify the box car on the left ?
The one on the right is NYO&W and the location is Norwich, NY
circa 1910.

Thanks for any help.

Illinois Central.

If you are curious, the words in the diamonds are:

             Central

Mississippi     Valley

            Route

And the circle:

Illinois Central

    Railroad

You're welcome.

Here's something interesting. Apparently the railroad later changed the words in the diamonds before going to the simplified diamond logo:
