Diane Wolfgram commented:
At least 210 of these were built in 1914, too. Ownership was split, primarily, between the Southern Pacific and the lines that were later consolidated into the Texas & New Orleans. All told, the PS received 150 of them and the T&NO and other Texas-Louisiana Lines 700 of them. The Northwestern Pacific got 20, the Pacific Electric 10 and the SPdeMexico 26. 320 of the total were constructed by Standard Steel Car (SSC).
From a modeling standpoint, notable differences between these and the later S-40-5 class were that the -4s rode on Andrews trucks while the -5s had Vulcan trucks. The -4 had a low, horizontal sliding "feed" door on the B end, but there wasn't any on the B end of the -5s.
I don't carry all this around in my head, but do keep Tony Thompson's Southern Pacific Freight Cars, Volume 1 within reach much of the time.
