Given that photo was taken at Havelock, NE on the CB&Q, it is likely a CB&Q Class XA-7/8 40' Single sheathed Automobile box being rebuilt (they had 5/5/5 ends). - Think Sunshine's CB&Q 22.6 Kit in HO, or Rails Unlimited Resin body in O scale. Here is a more convenient TinyURL for the photo: *http://tinyurl.com/4ovy2a8* Kind regards, Rob Adams On 1/31/11 7:49 AM, Bill Welch wrote:

I believe the end lining was attached to the boards in the end ribs.

what was the purpose of the boards inserted inside the ribs? They are nailers for the end paneling. The end paneling was typically installed vertically, as shown in this otherwise-unrelated photo. http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/el/frt/erie96900adb.jpg Note the interior view of a Viking roof.

Heads of the bolts which hold them would be seen on the outside of the ends, which might otherwise seem odd places for bolt heads.

Those are "nailer" strips for the end lining.
