Re: BS box car... more info please!
I wondered about this too. It seems unlikely. Onthe other hand, I've seen the light weight of this BS order given as 41,400.Even a 3,000 lb. increase seems to much for a door.

Re: BS box car... more info please!
Maybe I should have said non-corrugated ornon-pressed. :-) The roof on the RDG class XMu USRA derivative and some laterRDG designs were similar. As far as I know, this type originated on the ARA"X-29"

Re: BS box car... more info please!
Eric my notes say that it is a "lap seam" roof, but I'm notsure
where that came from. The only photo I've ever seen before was in
