  The Restoration Analysis for South Pacific Coast 47

  By John F Hall
  
  This in-depth report combines the history and analysis of our first museum article, SPC 47. Author John Hall has compiled numerous sources and contributed extensive forensics to deduce the known history of 47, its design evolution through its active lifetime, and a complete mechanical analysis and documentation of all components of this railcar, down to the paint color. The document as a whole is a prime example in the presentation of excellent research of a historic rail artifact.

  The Restoration Analysis for NWP Caboose 6101

  by Kevin Bunker

The text, photos, and drawings reads like a fascinating history book and encompasses the complex history that took place during the working life of the caboose- from the 1906 Earthquake, to mergers and acquisitions, to a shipbuilder trying to save the caboose, and more.
