All still (unaccountably) interested;
So, if GN, NP, C&NW and SP still had significant numbers of steel-underframed wooden-sheathed box cars into the late 50's, what other roads might have still rostered a good number of similar cars? Did the Wabash double door single-sheathed cars last into the 60's?

The January 1958 ORER shows 2880 Wabash S/S auto cars. The January 1964 Wabash Equipment book shows only 40 remaining, with 25 of the cars having the roofs removed for aluminum pipe loading.
