I suspect you’ve nailed. What I thought might be a three could easily
be an eight. Those two numbers are often difficult to distinguish at that
angle and resolution.
Thanks for putting it all together.

A
quick look at the Sunshine flyers page shows that this would be one of the 368
out of 1,535 USRA rebuit 40' box cars in the Bx36 class, so, the first
three numbers would be 148000 through 149000's. To bad the end
reporting marks are completely obscured by dirt.

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.

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

Caption:
"Nearly seventy years ago—on
Thursday, September 15, 1949—a Norfolk & Western train made a stop at the
Streitmann Biscuit Company near Cincinnati, Ohio.
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."
