<< Thanks Ben. On first glance it looked like the ends had been reused but then it was noticed that the ends on the rebuild are two=piece while the originals are three-piece. Thus we have new sides,

The original N&W Class BS cars were door and 1/2; later, some of these cars were rebuilt and reclassed as BSa.  N&W was big on rebuilding and reclassifying; no doubt there were accounting rules that

100 of these cars were acquired from the N&W in 1957 and were stenciled " N&W Railway Owner and Lessor". There is a b&w photo of # 2226, and a color photo of #2269 on pages 86, and 102 respectively,

The N&W HC-2 class built in 1942 are nearly the same -- some roof hatch differences, maybe a few other details. Tim O'Connor

Hi Kent, The vertical pipe on the B end is the line to the retainer valve. I haven't heard of it being called a stew pipe though. Michael

An interesting car. I'd like to know about the original car built in 1929 that was used for this rebuild. Is it possibly ex-NYC like some other Atlantic & Danville

I'm completing the transcription of 3 hours of interviews with a vet who, unfortunately, recently passed on. In all 45 pages of material, there's only one word we can't figure out. It's in the context
