Longevity and numbers of M&StL double sheathed boxcars
Mark Heiden
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some information regarding some Minneapolis & St Louis 36ft double sheathed, truss rod boxcars. Two photos are available on the NEB&W website at: http://railroad.union.rpi.edu/rolling-stock/Soph-Marty/XM-shorty-M&StL- 26000-6-SDM.jpg http://railroad.union.rpi.edu/rolling-stock/Soph-Marty/XM-shorty-M&StL- 26250-from-Propst.jpg The NEB&W website simply lists the cars as belonging to the 26000 series. Does anyone know the complete number series, and was the numbering even or odd? Also, were any of these cars still in interchange service in the late 1940s? Thanks, Mark Heiden
