A scan of the car is on Rail Car Photos –
http://railcarphotos.com/PhotoDetails.php?PhotoID=63175 The car is actually an older car than the Tangent model as it has a single row of rivets not a double row mandated in 1917.

I think that means the cars were no longer in Deep Rock service. There is a Matt Herson photo of a vintage PTC Deep Rock tank car on the ChP in Mexico in the 1970's - and it still has KC brakes! Tim O'Connor =============================== Problem with the Deep Rock is that it has KC brakes, and those were not allowed in interchange after (?) Jan. 1, 1953. J. Stephen Sandifer
