Nice work Sumpter. I have a question. How are tires suspended? I've seen some pictures showing small holes were drilled into the hull to fit a rope. Others show a horizontal rope on top of the hull on which smaller rope are used to suspend the tire. On some other, I've seen the rope seems to be attached on the bridge. I'm a little bit at loss about it.
Reinhard... Chicago was built back in 1913 when boxcars were far lower than later ARR standards. It would make sense they made up for the boxcar height increase when they shopped the tugboat with a diesel engine.
