hi garth: i'm going to go out on a limb, (the saw is already working), and due to the distorted pixelization, goingbto say this is an earlier car, the left side, i believe reads hill brothers r.r. can

john: are you fimilar with the.HJH boxcars/reefes? were they 34 or 36 footers? and did the two paint schemes have anything to do with their size? were plans/drawings of these ever published thanks ;-)

has to be, the roof walk end supports on both ends are damaged, as well as the two end steps on the "b" end, looks like both were squeezed and bent outward beyond the car evenlope, definitely a damage

is that an updide down pullman standard ladder?

there was also a web site dedicated to the boxcar/reefer of HJH, but that has long since disappeared mel perry

out of curiosity, does anyone in the group know jerry personally? or know of.someone who does? or have his phone number?, and tried to call him? just thinking out loud ;-) mel perry
