....I have a couple of these reefers, painted in the Green Bay & Western scheme. The ones for URTX/MILW and NWX have a letter "A" or "B" on the box to tell you which of the optional ice hatch hardware parts to use. There is no such letter on the GBW boxes, and the instruction sheets are the same as on the standard cars (the GBW was a limited run, so the instruction sheet is understandable). The only photos I have of these cars are from low angle.... Could anyone give me a hint as to which latches to use on the GBW cars?
The photos I have show these cars to be identical to the NWX cars, hatch covers included. That's not surprising, since WRX was a subsidiary of NWX; though the corporate offices were in Green Bay, the Treasurer was located at the same address as the NWX corporate offices in Chicago. Follow the money, as the old saying goes.
