The seller has more freight car images currently listed on eBay buried amongst many locomotives images. Below are some other samples where some have re-weigh dates beyond 1960, but the cars most likely were in service before 1960.

MRS had numerous bizarre rebuilds -- I've seen this one before, but this
is the first one I've seen with SLRX reporting marks. Actual numbers I have
for the MRS cars like this: 5004, 5055, 5118, 5157, 5178. There was another
style of rebuild in series 52xx as well.
