T&NO series 55200-55699 had Superior doors. As everyone here should know, any box car built for a US railroad from 1944 onwards had steel running boards (until after the era of STMFC interest). The first use of the diagonal panel roof was 1948. Since these cars were built 1946-1947, you know that IM has made a mistake if they used an RP roof. Ed Hawkins noted the first use of the diagonal panel roof was on a series of GN 10' 12 panel box cars -- just like the IM kit!
