As I stated earlier this morning, this car is NOT a Class K7 single
deck car (built new as stock cars), but is actually a taller Class
K7A double deck car rebuilt from obsolete X24 automobile boxcars.

I have an interest in stock cars, though I don't know as much about them as I
should. Since BLI offers this car with two different sounds, cattle or
hogs, could the second deck be removed on the prototype? It's obvious that hogs
could be shipped in a double decked car, but cattle sure couldn't be.
Since nobody makes a real C&O prototype stock car, I have to just go into the
"It's my world and in it, C&O had more than two classes of stock cars."
