1949, right?

FWIW there was a POW camp just north of Salt Lake City.  German soldiers were shipped in from eastern ports.  I have a vague recollection there were actual POW cars but I do not know if they were old Pullmans or these “War Emergency Pullmans”.

So 2 questions: Were there POW cars in the style shown in the photo?  Given luxury accommodations weren’t high on the list of POW service would a POW load move in a freight train – a different sort of livestock load or as a passenger train?
