I believe the large shield came in the early 1960's. I have a photo of a 1952 built car in original paint if you want to stop over sometime. It's from the Railmodel Journal Freight car Models Vol II.

While looking up this information I found a hybrid I didn't know existed. From the Sept 1989 issue of railmodel Journal or page 70 of the above mentioned book, there is a picture of a AAR 10'-4" car with the script D&H in the left corner and the bridge line hearld in the right corner. Anyone have any idea how many cars received this scheme?
