Milwaukee Road End Door 50' Cars


Todd Horton
 

While riding through Montana I spotted two told Milwaukee Road boxcars at a salvage business near Miles City Montana. One is an end door car 50' car. I asked Ed Hawkins about these and he is sure it's from the MILW 15500-15749 series of cars built in 1947. Does anyone have an inservice shot of these cars that shows the end door?
