The DM&IR placed a steel plate with the monogram painted on it on the sides of some cars starting in the 1950's . In some cases they did the same for the reporting marks and number.

The car has a sheet metal plate attached over the reporting marks for the Frisco logo. The car has wood doors and I would guess steel sides. How widespread was the addition of the plate and logo? The picture is dated 1962. For those who love transition power, there is a picture of a home built diesel body on top of a shay running gear at page 101! gary laakso south of Mike Brock #yiv7103179548 #yiv7103179548 --
