Snow sweeper 0295 converted from an open car in the Bridgeport yard. 0295 has a CR&L logo on it, so the photo must have been taken in 1937 or maybe late 1936.

Snow sweeper 0295 converted from an open car in the Bridgeport yard. 0295 has a CR&L logo on it, so the photo must have been taken in 1937 or maybe late 1936. Wason rebuilt Stephenson open cars 603-608 to sweepers 0295-0300 in 1921, apparently using the same techniques that Conn Company used on their rebuilding of Jackson and Sharp opens from the 371-381 group into sweepers 0272-0279 in 1920. Note the cut-down deck roof on 0295.
