I have made some discoveries since 1999 which are too lengthy to include in errata. Write me if you are interested in these:
Baltimore & Ohio (Nail Notes 2-2-01 and unpublished work I have
done)
Boston Elevated Railway (Nailer News, Fall 2000, pp 7-14)
Delaware & Hudson nails (Nailer News, Fall 2000, pp 7-14;
Winter 2000)
Florida East Coast (Nailer News, Spring 2001, pp 10-11)
Maine Central (05) 30 (Nailer News, Fall 2000, pp 7-14)
Missouri Pacific (Nailer News, Fall 2001, pp 4-6)
Spokane International finds (Nail Notes 10-24-01; Nailer News, Fall
2000, pp 7-14)
U. S. Government, Scotia, NY (Nail Notes 4-19-01)
U. S. Navy (Earl, NJ) (Nailer News, Summer 2000, pp 16-17; Winter 2001,
pp 14-15)
Southern Wood Piedmont set (Nail Notes, 10-24-01 and 2-2-01)
Stubby Shadow Set (It was originally used by the Public Service Co.)
(Nailer News, Spring 2000, pp 13-15)
2 1/2 x 1/4 sqr R stl (07) 26
to the Boston & Maine list. Put the 26 after the 25:b on the third line in the list of nails. Also, add "B&M" to the square raised 26 in the reverse listing, page 175 of Volume III.
2 1/2 x 1/4 rnd R stl (09) 47:c
and make the appropriate change to the reverse listing, page 178 of Volume III.
2 x 1/4 rnd R stl (04) 37
so that the line reads
2 x 1/4 rnd R stl (04) 35,36,38
The 37 probably does not exist. This was an oversight.
2 x 9/32 rnd R
stl (07) X8
1 1/4 x 3/16 sqr I rs
cop (07) 29,30
and delete
1 1/4 x 3/16 sqr I rs cop (60) 29:b
One X8 is known. The square copper (60) 29:b is really the (07) nail. Somehow the (07) square 29 amd 30 escaped our attention for seven years!
2 1/2 x 1/4 rnd R mi (11) 30:b
and make the appropriate addition to the reverse listing, page 180 of Volume III.
2 1/2 x 1/4 rnd I
stl (18A) 08
2 1/2 x 1/4 rnd I
stl (07) 21
2 1/2 x 1/8+ rnd I gm stl (18B)
21 (might be OSL, SLR or UP)
The appropriate changes need to be made also to the reverse listing,
pages 184, 162, and186.
Also, the rnd I (07) 08 might be 08:c.
2 1/2 x 1/4 rnd R
stl (07) 27:b
2 1/2 x 1/4 rnd R
stl (06) 31
The absence of the 31 was an oversight, and the minor difference between 27 & 27:b account for the latter not being reported before. Add these to the reverse listing, of course.
2 1/2 x 1/4 rnd R stl (18C) 51
The 1 3/4" 51 may not belong to the set. Also, it may be that
2 1/2 x 1/4 rnd R
stl (18C) 54
belongs, but we need more information. See Nailer News,
Fall 2000, pp. 8-9.
Add ``SI'' to the list of railroads which used the round 51 to the reverse listing, Volume III, page 187.
--- The Dalles, OR, 1903. Originally at Wyeth, OR, this was the
Oregon
RR & Navigation Co.'s two-retort portable plant. In 1905
two cylinders
were added for treating ties and maybe other timbers by BOULTONIZING
(BOILING IN CREOSOTE), and in 1910 its ownership transferred to OSL.
['12, 285] The plant was moved to The Dalles, OR in 1923, when
it became
a UP plant. [WPN 8-51, 97-98][AREA '04, 75]
In 1933 a fire destroyed the works, and the following
year it was
sold to the Forest Products Treating Co., which operated three new
retorts.
A fourth, from POCATELLO, was added in 1941, and between 1945 and 1952
the plant came into the hands of Baxco Corp, LATER J. H. BAXTER.
THE PLANT
WAS LATER SOLD BY J. H. BAXTER TO KERR-McGEE CHEMICAL CORP.
[WPN 8-51, 97-98]['34, 474]['44, 430]['52, 394]
Type (37) nails were manufactured by The Steel Company of Canada,
Ltd. A box of these "twisted shank" nails was labeled "Stelco nails
/ Ardox, spiral"
