Don,
All of the D&H cars had welded side sheets, but some had varying degrees of riveting for other parts.

While the seams in some made them look riveted I thoughr all the D&H cars had welded sides.
Is this not the case? These D&H cars all developed the same pattern of sinks and high spots on their
sides that gavce then a swallow waffle effect.What I don't understand is why Atlas didn't use the flat
panel roof on their Seaboard cars since they offered it on others.
Cordially, Don Valentine
