Nice images of NYC, P&LE, and PMcK&Y hoppers...
The hoppers are USRA design triples, which Westerfield still makes in HO. Longacre is at the east end of Smithers (I actually have a book on Smithers). This was an area that produced good coking cola.

Southern railway flat cars
Paul, We discussed this question a couple of years ago, so it should be in the archives. Sadly, I had this discussion archives, but it somehow got blown off my computer. Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆

I think this happened in the mid 1950s. First came red cars with Roman lettering, and then soon after (late 50s) Southern adopted the block lettering style.

Most likely late 1957 when there was a systemwide change in fonts and colors. That’s when heralds were removed, the Roman font changed to an early version of Gothic/Block, the green/imitation Aluminum
