Frank's Roundhouse - Who Done It?

I called this page "Who Done It?" because I don't know the decorator of these rail cars. I placed them within the Frank's Roundhouse pages because they have the same body mold, chassis and trucks with brake shoes. However, it was confirmed with Frank's son, who was also involved with his father's production, that Frank's Roundhouse did not paint or decorate them.

Next to the company logo on the first boxcar is printed "Neuman Distributors, Inc." The second line reads "Neuman Wholesale Drug Company" and the third is "Ridgefield, New Jersey". There is a built date on the boxcar of "8-93". It came in a white box with "Neuman Whol Drug" penciled on the end.

This is a Pennsylvania Railroad Cove Lions Club refrigerator car. The car is dated 1993 and has ice hatches on the roof. The Cove Lions Club was located in Loysburg, PA. Photo courtesy of the B. Trappen collection.
