Hi List Members,
 
Looking at the RI boxcar that also appears in this image, I would say it is numbered in the 41XXX range somewhere.
 
That would put it in this slot of cars according to my Dec 1930 ORER:
 
Stl. Underfr. Z-Bar series 40700-42199 40ft IL 8ft 6in IW 8ft 1in IH 80,000 lbs 1477 cars
 
Thanks Bob for the great links!
 
Enjoy!
 
Claus Schlund

Bob,

That number is in fact, a Bx-O, 11 of which remained in the series 32343-35199 in Jan 45.

One of my friends on the Rock Island list identified this location as Ponca City Oklahoma.  The building is till standing and can be seen on Google Maps at 200 West Central Ave.  It is actually near the Santa Fe depot now BNSF.

A photo from the Gateway To Oklahoma History website:

Photo can be enlarged quite a bit.

Double-sheathed boxcar, possibly a Bx-O.

An unidentified Rock Island boxcar also appears in this photo.
