Chris:
I've put two jpeg in the files section of the skeleton car you
requested. Unfortunately they are not the best photos because it
was the steam gen cars, and the weed control equipment I was after,
so what you get is two partial views. If you are familiar with
Revelstoke, sometimes your telephoto lens only reaches so far.
Excellent picutres of these skeleton cars can be found on P.95 of
John Riddel's CP colour guide.
Sorry but I am supposed to be packing for Montreal tonight,
otherwise I'd look for a better photo of this car I think I have
sitting at Parksville on Vancouver Island. I'll check when I get
back.

Hi Doug,
I noticed in the picture of CP400901 part of a log car. Would you
willing to send me the full size picture directly? In the photosection
it's made smaller. If you happen to have other pictures with moreof this
(or similar) log car, I am very interested.burn down
Have FUN, Chris Klomp.
