L&N ARA 1924 single sheathed boxcar bolster spacing

James McDonald
 

Dear list,

Could anyone help me with details on which number series of the L&N 1924 ARA recommended practice XM-1 single sheathed cars had 5' 0" striker to bolster distance, and which had 5' 6"? I've been through all of my available literature and have come up short. This may have been discussed here before, but I can't get the site search to give me meaningful results so forgive me if this is a rehash question.

Thanks and all the best,

James
