Re: Clinchfield SS USRA boxcar
These are one of the few original deliveries of the 50-ton USRA cars to serve into the 1950's in their original form with only AB Brake change. Westerfield has a great kit w/correct decals for later

Lester,
I'm not sure if I thanked you or not when you posted the first part of this, but Thank You very much for doing so!
I've printed and saved both for future reference.
Take Care,

Clinchfield SS USRA boxcar
