Re: model freight car origiin

Re: Covered Hopper Help
I believe the pictured car is IC 79000 — from IC series 79000-79031.
The following may be more information about these cars than you want or need: In the April 1945 IC List of Freight Car

Balclutha's last commercial voyage was in 1941, with the usual anchors, as the naval style still wouldn't cat up correctly.
