Vinegar Car for Clear Creek or N.G.

[QcRail]

I've had quite a lot of fun with the 5 narrow gauge tank car packages and I shall focus my attention to something else.

I'm toying with a new industry that could occupy a few spaces on the fantastic Clear Creek Rte. - a pickling and salting plant

Remember, with the RWA Lakeside route we did have a salting works and I have introduced the concept to C.C. Colorado is not only known for mining or crude oil exploitation; agriculture was a way of life in the valleys; therefore, prior to WWII pickling and salting was a well established practice to conserve fruits and vegetables. Pickles, YES? but think of cabbages, runner beans, etc. So why not revive a salting plant in the Clear Creek Valley.

For nostalsia, here is the original RWA Lakeside Pickle Car...

... and, now, in working progress is my proposal for the C.C. narrow-gauge route. This particular car is owned by the Clear Creek Valley Growers Association, but others want to jump on the new bononsa

Let's not forget that Brine and salting product were produced by Morton Salt Co. ''When it rains it pours'' thus a need for billboard boxcars.

Enjoy my proposal and any idea is welcome.

An excellent idea and addition!

Look forward to it - I think it has a lot of old world character and will fit in with Clear Creek nicely....

And thank you for the effort - and all your work on the other great NG stock.
