Neat find. I see some brake rigging and a K brake cylinder. The lengths of
steel are truss rods and the riveted steel beam you mention is called the
bolster. Itâs where the truck would attach to the car. Try searching for the
phrase âtruss rod under frame.â
Weâd love to see more if you can uncover more.

<https://photos.app.goo.gl/2aE5SmwzZrwmTmfa6> , this is the only time the lake
is low enough.
Sometime after 1901 a wood-frame car fell 50' down to the lakeshore. Most of
the wood has floated away, some coke is nearby.
Some questions: what do you call the riveted steel beam? I found diagrams for
brakes, but nothing for frames this old. Hard to find info because "wood
railcar" search just returns wood bodies on steel frames.
I Hope to go back this afternoon with a shovel. Would be great if the rest of
it were under the gravel.
