Automatic Journal Box Oilers

[NW Mailing List]

"I do recall that the N&W was still oiling cars being shoved up the 
Shaffers Crossing Hump when I left the N&W in 1979."


Abram,

This statement in your response to Jim C. made me wonder if you have any 
recollections about the Automatic Journal Box Oilers (one on each track) 
located at the summit of the Shaffers Crossing hump. These replaced the 
manual filling of journal boxes with oil.

Any other list members are welcome to share recollections as well.

Thanks, John Garner
