Subject: RE: [STMFC] AAR 40' Boxcar Door Widths -----Original Message----- Would the 6' doors be more prevalent, or were all threeShawn, I cannot say for the post war cars (as build dates are not in the ORER and my other reference sources are far from complete) but using the Apr 1950 ORER and selecting for all-steel boxcars with an interior height of 10' 6" and an interior length of 40' (which should approximate the post war population to some great degree) there were ~210000 boxcars w/6' doors, ~11400 with 7' doors, and ~8600 w/ 8' doors (and about the same for 12' doors).
