Pieter, I think your point that the remaining 44% may be mostly made up of unique or home built cars iw well taken. However, I'm not sure I would equate the numbers of X29s with the sum of the

One of my friends brought to my attention an idea that the Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Western had some Fowler patent 36' boxcars, B&O inherited them with the railroad and assigned them
