Rob Kirkham asked:
"The two cars I would like to identify to the extent its possible are the
ATSF car (second car back of the engine), and hopefully some guesses
regarding the box car 5 back, just ahead of the Dominion/fowler car. "

Scott Pitzer responded:
"For the one ahead of the Dominion car, I see...ILLINOIS CENTRAL on the left
above the reporting marks and MAINLINE OF MID-AMERICA on the right side."

It's extremely difficult to tell whether or not this car is a pre-war or
post-war car as not enough of the end is visible and the door details are
non-existent. The most likely possibilities are:

- Pre-war car: IC Modified 1937 AAR boxcar, 10' 4" IH, both square corner
and round corner variations. See table at
http://www.steamfreightcars.com/prototype/frtcars/mod37aarpdfmain.html
for specific information. To model this car, use the Intermountain Modified
1937 AAR boxcar kit, plus Sunshine mini-kit MK.10B for those cars with
square corner ends.

- Post-war car: Most likely IC 27000-27499, 10' 6" IH, 6 ft Youngstown
doors, Universal hand brake, Morton running boards, ASF A-3 Ride Control
trucks.
