Freight Car Registry 2003 - 2005
Author: trainnut7

I know this is off subject but.  Looking for someone who has a freight car registry from the above years that can look up information on SORX cars.  SORX=Sorrels Farm Supply, Raymond, Illinois.  What were the car numbers, and how many cars did they lease?  Thank you for your trouble.  James

Interesting, 4635cuft hoppers were homebuilt by the Penn Central and later owned by Conrail. 4650's are your typical ACF Plate C hopper (as opposed to the 4600 Plate B cars). 4785cuft hoppers were built by Pullman-Standard with most going to Penn Central as well.
