Hi Jesus,
Looks to me like the the AT&SF car’s number is xx514 or maybe
xxx514. The digit immediately before the “514” might be a “3,” but I’m not
sure.
Pax,

if you look closely on the second car, it is a ATSF car with the "BUY WAR BONDS" slogan to the left of the door. I was unable to read the road number on my small screen Jesus Peña Concord, CA. On Tuesday, September 17, 2019, 10:42:44 AM PDT, Bob Chaparro via Groups.Io

The bakery produced more than 100 different varieties of crackers and cookies, including honey graham crackers, Opera Crème cookies, and Zesta saltine crackers. By 1951, production amounted to 1,321 carloads of outbound traffic annually, which was either delivered by N&W to its destination or originated on the N&W for delivery by other railroads."
