Re: Youngstown Sheet & Tube tank car
To expand a little on what Steve Hile said about YS&T 110 (and TKX 700):
Standard Car (later Tank Car) Company commenced operations in April of 1916; it was the name change that dates to 1919.

The "container devices" mentioned in the previous post also seem to have remnants of guides for lowering covers on top of them.

Re: IM SP stock car wanted
Intermountain did a Santa Fe stock car and Red Caboose did a SP car. Do you mean the RC car?

Re: Steam line placement on express box cars
The BE-50-24 steam line is not visible from the side in any photos that I have seen
so I assume that it must be threaded through the cross bearers alongside the center sill.

I compiled some info from Pennsylvania Tank Line's ORER entries the last time this topic came up:
Pennsylvania Tank Line first appears in the February 1912 ORER with a picture of PTX
