This is very likely one of the cars that for years sat along the back of the Alcoa Aluminum plant in Lafayette, Indiana and that I saw on my trips to and from Purdue 50 years ago.  They got scattered in the late 1980’s when Alcoa gave them up.  A handful ended up at the Indiana Transportation Museum in Noblesville, Indiana.  A couple still had their Evans Auto racks in them when I shot them up for an article that I did on upgrading an F&C kit for MR…or was it MM…I don’t remember.
