Bill, Here is the info on the difference, from RPI The Northern Pacific got War Emergency cars in '44, but these were only 7-panel box cars with a Howe truss, not the 9 panel Pratt truss of what I call a true "War Emergency" car Tim O'Connor said the NP got these in '44. Ted Culotta said that Pullman built series 28000-28749, which had black ends, and Pressed Steel built series 28750-28999. These had Superior doors and rectangular panel roofs with wood running boards Culotta also pointed out that these NP cars were the largest class of War Emergency cars on a single road, representing 1,000 cars.

The NP 28000 series war emergency boxcars were seen with both black and box car red ends. Was there any rhyme or reason as to which got what? Bill Pardie Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
