There is a good chance the cars originated here in Birmingham from ABC Coke works. They are now owned by Drummond Coal out of Jasper, AL. I saw a lot of these cars parked at the plant in Tarrent many years ago. Yes they did have a lot of different varieties of them Larry Smith

L&N coke box car. The L&N rebuilt a variety of cars for coke service. My Dad photographed one in Pueblo Colorado (CF&I Steel) in the late 1960's. They probably also made it to Provo, to the USS Geneva works. Met coal & coke from east of the Mississippi was a common sight in Colorado, even to the very end of steel making in Colorado.

In doing so, I came across one car and I was wondering if
it is the prototype of Walthers "Jailbox" car?
