Indeed, the Southern is the only road I know that split an order for
1500 cars with the first 500 MORTON, and the next 1000 were wood! This
was the series 21500-22999 built in 1942.

Bud, The Southern railway was a big user of Morton "Open Grip" running
boards. The first 50 foot boxcars to be equi8ped with them were
41500-41549, 40200-40249 and 41500-41549. These runnning boards were also
used on 40 foot boxcars and bay window cabooses. I have the car numbers
that used Morton Rrunning boards in 1956 and can send them to you off line
if needed.
Hope this helps
