Mike double door steel car 7709 is one of the cars re-built into the Fe-13 class of cars, numbered 7601-7849 in 1937 by Santa Fe. These cars were originally Fe-K and Fe-M class cars-built AC&F in 1909

I handled a lot of these old 40 foot box cars when I was a Switchman, and the doors on a loaded car were never left open. Box cars used in bulk grain service were usually one step from the scrap yard

Clark here is the Folio sheet for the Fe-26 40 foot cars, it will tell you everything you want to know about these cars. Hope this helps Charlie Slater MSFM Sent from Outlook
